You know your money is well spent sent off to various charities during the year, right?  You do send money to charity, don't you?  I try to do what I can with the little I have, and the Child's Play Charity is one organization that I always enjoy saving up something extra to support.  It's all about "gamers and geeks around the world" raising huge donations of toys, games and cash for Children's Hospitals all over the world.  Extremely cool, I think you'd agree.

This year I'm even more stoked about this charity since some local game developer friends of mine helped put our local hospital on the map for donations!  Yay!  Now, I can donate directly to my local Denver Children's Hospital !  Again, the coolness is extreme.

This is a very, very well-known charity by now, so don't worry about fraud here.  You actually don't have to send them money directly (unless you want to), since you visit Amazon.com and order items from the charity's wish list.  The gifts are sent directly to the chosen hospital!  Go to the official Child's Play Charity site for more info.

This year is also very special since they've added hospitals in Canada and in Liverpool!  I know we have a lot of visitors from across the pond, so maybe you'll find this a little more close to home than previous years.  There are 21 hospitals in all (so far), which just flat rocks.  I'm excited to see how much is raised this year.  Help out the kids, eh??
