If you’ve been too busy floating in your new WoW house to take part in this year’s Ars Technica Charity Drive sweepstakes, don’t worry. You still have time to donate to a good cause and get a chance to win your share of over $4,000 worth of swag (no purchase necessary to win).
In the first two days or so of the drive, over 200 readers have contributed over $11,000 to either the Electronic Frontier Foundation or Child’s Play as part of the charity drive (Child’s Play has a roughly 60/40 donation lead at the moment). That’s still a long way off from 2020’s record haul of over $58,000, but there’s still plenty of time until the Charity Drive wraps up on Friday, January 2, 2026.
That doesn’t mean you should put your donation off, though. Do yourself and the charities involved a favor and give now while you’re thinking about it.
This is a great reminder! It’s always nice to see community initiatives like the Charity Drive. Good luck to everyone participating, and I hope it brings in a lot of support for a great cause!
Absolutely! Community initiatives like this not only support great causes but also foster a sense of togetherness among gamers. Plus, the chance to win swag is a fun bonus!
