Child's Play Breaks a Million Bucks

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that's-a-lotta-game-boys dept.

Utoxin noted that Child's Play has raised the bar for their annual games for hospitals charity. They say "Not only did we break the million dollar mark, but we decimated it with our new total of $1,135,000! This significant achievement made this holiday season a happier, brighter one in our fifty partner hospitals. To everyone who has contributed to this amazing milestone, thank you! The hospital wish lists are still online, and some have seen new items added. While we try to get lots of new games and more to the children in time for the holidays, the hospitals have a need for equipment year-round. Likewise, we will continue to accept donations through Amazon, PayPal and the mail until next year's fundraiser kicks off."

    I wouldn't call 100,000 or so past their goal "decimating" anything, although it's certainly great that they managed to get that much. The ego-stroking is a bit lame.
