Child's Play 2007 Gets Underway
It is well worth mentioning that a post by Tycho over on the Penny Arcade site signals the kickoff for Child's Play 2007. This year they have over 30 hospitals spread across five countries, and (as always) every little bit helps. From Mr. Brahe's post: "At the last Child's Play dinner, a man whose son was currently staying at Seattle Children's Hospital - he'd left him temporarily, to attend - literally could not produce the words to thank me. The depth of his appreciation bordered on anguish. I hardly knew how to respond, other than attribute those comforts to their true authors. The opportunity to be excellent has arisen again. Just as in years past, visit the site proper, choose your favorite hospital, and select your toy. We promise to let you know how incredible you are at regular intervals."
Or empty that tub of change you have sitting in your room into a CoinStar counting machine and it can give you an amazon gift certificate on the spot with no coin counting fees.

"The world volunteer" hmm perhaps "everybody is a volunteer" would have made more sense..or at least some sense.
Still, help out.
Too poor? Next time you have a LAN party, tell everyone a buck goes into the childsplay bucket. There are some items as low as 6.99
Organize something at your local hobby store.
Sell some of the Gold from your WoW character.....love you Blizzard heh.
Hell, put up some of the signs around town.

Good idea, I was unaware they had these.
All of the overhead of Child's Play is subsidized by Penny-Arcade, much of the labor for the auction/dinner is volunteer. Every dollar you donate to Child's Play buys stuff that goes to hospitals. Period.
