Basically any cause that actually does research into curing the maladies that put kids in the hospitals (and adults) could potentially do much more good than Child's Play.
Well, and there are also charities that could do more good (in the greater sense) than Operation Kindness (for animals) or homeless shelters. Doesn't make them unworthy of donations, though.
This misses the point. Kids are in bad shape, and it's nice to give them something fun to spend their time with, in what otherwise could be a very miserable time.
Cheering up kids anywhere is always worth of donation to me, but cheering up sick kids gets big points. They may not get what I give to the Red Cross every year, but they will always get something.
