Child’s Play Beats Their $1 Million Goal

2007 was an awesome year for gaming all the way around. The Child’s Play cause was no exception. They beat their goal of raising $1 million.

Not only did we break the million dollar mark, but we decimated it with our new total of $1,135,000! This significant achievement made this holiday season a happier, brighter one in our fifty partner hospitals. To everyone who has contributed to this amazing milestone, thank you!

The hospital wish lists are still online, and some have seen new items added. While we try to get lots of new games and more to the children in time for the holidays, the hospitals have a need for equipment year-round. Likewise, we will continue to accept donations through Amazon, PayPal and the mail until next year’s fundraiser kicks off.

In a political climate where so many groups are trying to negatively stereotype gaming and gamers, it’s wonderful to hear news like this. Video games and gamers as a whole have so many positive things to offer society and those offerings are typically overlooked.
