Child's Play logo2007 numbers are in for the Child’s Play gamer’s charity and they are big! A total of $1.3 million dollars was raised from countries around the world in 2007, paid in the form of video games, books, toys and other items shipped to children’s hospitals all across the United States and the world, thanks for the extreme generosity of us gamers, including VGB, which donated to Child’s Play last Christmas. Please, don’t hesitate to give today!

If you’ve never heard of Child’s Play, here’s the bio from the official site:

Since 2003, over 100,000 gamers worldwide have banded together through Child’s Play, a community based charity grown and nurtured from the game culture and industry. Over two 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.

This year, we have continued expanding across the country and the globe. With over 45 partner hospitals and more arriving every month, you can be sure to find one from the map above that needs your help! You can choose to purchase requested items from their online retailer wish lists, or make a cash donation that helps out Child’s Play hospitals everywhere. Any items purchased through Amazon will be shipped directly to your hospital of choice, so please be sure to select their shipping address rather than your own.

When gamers give back, it makes a difference!
