Update: Congratulations to the CAG community who raised $32,677 for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity! Everyone who participated should feel extremely proud of themselves. As a small bonus, everyone who donated a prize and/or money to the fund will receive priority access to the upcoming CAG beta on February 1st. Please look below to see the winner's list and details on how to claim prizes.

Original post
In 2007, CAGs raised over $27,000 for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. This year, let's see if we can hit $30,000 before the year is through.

For every $5 donated via PayPal through the CAG ChipIn system, you will receive one entry into a raffle to win a $500 Amazon Gift Certificate or other great prizes! Last year, the CAG Community donated some really cool and generous prizes and I'm sure the tradition will continue this year. I expect the prize list to grow and grow until the very end of the fundraiser.

You must donate through the ChipIn system or your raffle entry will not register. Use any of the links in this post or the widget below. Just click the "ChipIn" button to donate.



If you would like to add a small version of the above widget to your forum signature (see example in my signature below), please use this code:
HTML Code:
[chipinsig]ed63643e88e3d348[/chipinsig]
Donations are accepted via PayPal and go directly to Child's Play. ChipIn tracks our donations as a group, but the money is immediately deposited into Child's Play's PayPal account.

What's up with not accepting used items? I'm sure a lot of people have used games that they would be more than happy to donate to this cause instead of or in addition to donating money, and many people would be happy to receive them. Certainly they are more likely to be donated than brand new games. Seems like a poor choice.

Damn, did you donate $100?

....

....*looks at wallet* Err, don't count on me to match it, although I do plan on contributin' near the end of the month!

And I kinda agree with Rocko 'bout the used game deal; lots of gamers keep their games in great condition, and if you're only acceptin' new games, that means that we'll probably have to go out and buy somethin' to donate, right?

Well to be honest, it does kinda come across rather chintzy. I know whoever would donate a used item would still be doing a good thing. But would you guys be as excited about entering the contest* if the prize list consisted of used copies of video games .. most of which would probably be a few months old .. as opposed to brand new and sealed stuff?

*not that the contest should be your primary motivation for donating

The contest should not be the primary motivation for donating, but let's be honest. How much money do you think the site would've raised last year if it didn't get tons of blog coverage due to the contest, which had over 80 prizes or something crazy like that. That money was not from CAG members only, and would not have reached that high if it weren't for the contest. IMO, game donors are doing just as great of a service as the cash donors, as they are giving people who wouldn't usually donate a reason to.

This is for a charity. And it's clear that last year's format worked well. I'd say you shouldn't fix what's not broken. This isn't a time for anything other than gaining the most money as possibly for Child's Play, and used game donations certainly drive that.

Suppose I should go back and find out how much I donated last year.

Don't worry if you can't match my donation. I couldn't donate what I wanted to last year since I was in school full time so I wanted to make up for it this year.

We did not accept used games last year either. We had 50 prizes last year...it's just not necessary.

cheapy ever considered some kind of a card that you could print for christmas that says something to the regard of a donation has been made in your name to childs play and then an explination of what the charity is.... just a thought ... I HATE my inlaws and have decided this year to just give them a i made a donation in your name kind of thing.... I would love it to be childs play... they would just hate that ..... of course i'll pony up a personal donation as well

just a thought from a much hated daughter in law hehe.

In for $5. My fiancee is out of work because of the economy, so $500 gift card would really help pay for some gifts for the holidays.

I feel bad I couldn't donate more, but times are tight.

But there's always room for more prizes, right? - I'd be willing to donate a few used games.
Btw, expect my donation within a week or so.

That's my line of thinking. It could only help. I know I personally have one or two games I could pony up.

Either way, I'm sure I'll throw something in the pot at some point.
