Reminder: Donate to win swag in our annual Charity Drive sweepstakes
The annual Ars Technica Charity Drive is gaining momentum, with over $11,000 raised in the first two days. This year, donations support the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child's Play, with a current 60/40 split favoring Child's Play. Developers should take note, as this is not just about swag; it's an opportunity to support vital organizations that impact the gaming community.
While the current total is a far cry from the record $58,000 raised in 2020, there's still ample time to contribute before the drive concludes on January 2, 2026. Participating not only helps these charities but also fosters a sense of community among developers, making it a worthwhile endeavor.
“Do yourself and the charities involved a favor and give now while you're thinking about it.”
