Congratulations to the entire CAG community as we beat our goal of $40,000, raising a whopping $42,810! Thanks to all who participated including our great corporate sponsors Play-Asia, Telltale Games (Tales of Monkey Island), Capcom (Dark Void), and Blueberry Muffin Tops Cereal.

In 2008, CAGs raised over $32,000 (up from $27K in 2007) for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. This year, let's see if we can hit $40,000 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 ChipIn links in this post or the widget below. Just click the "ChipIn" button to donate. 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.

updated prize list

[Bazz]

Another year can't wait to see how much is raised. I'll be sure to trickle some money in as the days pass.

[JMEPO]

Good to see it back!

[cdrober]

Excellent again! Here's to making even more this year!

[xGunCrazyx]

I won a 32GB iPod touch last year, super awesome
Plan on donating at least $10-20 this year

[Predator Ranger]

I'm in. Probably some more after I get paid next week.

[Ibaapzo]

To every one in Colorado, please come to the Child's Play charity this Thursday night at Cervantes! We'll have a HUGE mass of prizes to give away, lots of awesome stuff for silent auctions and tons of games to play (and drinks to sip if gaming isn't your thing).

Please come show your support. If you're not in Colorado, please support CAG and Child's Play by pledging online.


For more information, visit either Kotaku or the following site:

Thank you all!

Posted this over on GameTZ, our community will probably donate some money over here as well

[paintball745]

can't wait to see if we can break our old record from last year. also thios is a really great cause.

just put some cash in more to come when i get paid.

[utstick]

I am so happy to be a part of such a wonderful cause! In a tough year, I'll give as much as I can to those who need it more than I....

[ryanflucas]

I'm in with $10 with more to send later most likely.

[Kfoster1979]

In again... Lets beat last year!

[Nibi]

Did my little part. This is my favorite charity and I have a good feeling the CAG community will pull through this year.

[staindklown]

Just donated, I'm happy to help out such a great charity, I hope we can raise the 40,000 or more this year.

[pbaz11]

Start with a little...with a more later on. Great cause and great job Cheapy.

[Sylin]

Gathering donations from family and friends (non-gamers) to make a large bulk donation later this month.

Do the cash donations get evenly distributed amongst all the hospitals on the map? I actually bought some toys for Vanderbilt Children's yesterday (we live nearby and know some of the staff), but I don't mind spreading the love around. It's a great cause!

[NinjaPenguin777]

I threw $20 in.

[AFRO insomniac]

This will be my yearly donation as thanks to CAG for the deals all year long. Thanks CAG and I hope we can raise even more this year than we did last year! =)

[Jmclark]

Didn't donate last year, but considering how awesome the prize list was, I'm gonna donate this year.

[morph3us]

Hopefully everyone on CAG can donate some of the money that CAG saved them

also 1300 dollars in 3 hours is not bad!

[Hostile]

Giving more and more each year overall to charities as I grow older. I'll do this one a little later.

[xGunCrazyx]

also 1300 dollars in 3 hours is not bad!

I think Cheapy donates $500 or $1000 each year, so he probably is responsible for a big chunk of that

[captainfrizo]

Great to see this back again this year Cheapy, it truly goes to a worthwhile cause.

I put in my first $25 matching last year, once I get paid again later this month I'll contribute another $25.

[FrankTheFrowner]

Just chipped in $20, will try and do a little more each week. Also going to check with my company's HR department about matching donations.

[skygunnerblue]

In.

[sbarbermisier]

Just dropped 20. Thanks, Cheapy, for running my favorite website, and contributing to an awesome cause.

[djfp]

In for 25 to start things off...more along the way. Great to see the ball start rolling towards the 40K goal!

[Treythalomew]

10 in now till I get paid but I just want to add my piece about how important this kind of thing is. This kind of charity puts games into all of the children in these hospitals so they can have something to look forward to on an daily basis. Hospitals blow no matter what age you are and being young with all the noises and weird things going on can be a terrible time. That's why helping to get these kids some modern gaming going is a very important endeavor.

[Jim Beam]

I've read about this charity in the past and think it is great. I will definitely get some money in when I get chance. It is great to see this site support it.

[Sinksand]

Happy to see this appear every year, and even happier to donate. Thanks for maintaining the spirit of this site Cheapy.
