Being Charitable

Child's Play is a charitable organization founded by the authors of the popular computer and video games-based webcomic Penny Arcade that organizes worldwide toy drives to children's hospitals. Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins founded Child's Play in 2003 to improve the lives of sick children by donating toys and games to hospitals worldwide. The charity is also seen as a way to refute mainstream media's perception of gamers as violent and antisocial.Through Child's Play, donors have sent over twelve million dollars in toys, games and books to children's hospitals all over the world.

I first became aware of this charity while watching the show X Play.  I like that this charity donates toys  and video games to kids in hospitals. It is also a way to lowers the media’s perception of video games as violent and antisocial.
