I don't know how many of the people who read my blog heard about the Penny Arcade 'Child's Play' charity--Penny Arcade is a video game comic that I haven't read very often, but anyway. For Christmas, they put up an Amazon wishlist for Seattle Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center, and also set up a Paypal account. Well, I don't know how much money people spent donating toys and stuff, but they received over twenty seven *THOUSAND* dollars via Paypal. And check out the website, that has links to some of the pictures they took of all the toys they got.
Holy crap. Seriously. Holy crap. They're not accepting donations anymore, because of shipping times and stuff, but they're talking about making it an annual thing, and broadening their scope.
Wow.
The news article in the Seattle Times where I found the link to all the pictures. Go gamers. :)
