Child's Play Goes Live For 2006 41

GiovanniZero writes "Child's Play, the Penny-Arcade based charity just kicked off their 2006 season. Stop by, donate and bring some cheer to sick kids all over the world. 'Since 2003, gamers have banded together through registered Seattle-based charity, Child's Play. Over a million dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in children's hospitals across North America and the world have been collected since our inception ... Last year's drive raised over $605,000 for sick children, and we're hoping to smash that record total this winter. Check out the wish lists, read up on the local events and let's show the world what the gaming community is all about!'"

    The response to your comment is also a good idea, but at the core of this arguement is the fact its a hospital. They can't accept used games/systems for health reasons. I was kind of shocked when I found out they can't even accept things like teddy bears. Why? Because apparently they become germ ridden with time. I do agree though, you could always sell your stuff on ebay and use the funds to purchase stuff for the hospitals. I think part of the reason why you wouldn't be able to sell it though one central account just has to do with honesty. There would be very little accountability for someone who was using it with mal-intent.

Neutrinos have bad breadth.
