It’s once again that special time of year when we give you the opportunity to do well by doing good. That’s right, it’s time for the 2024 edition of our annual charity drive!

every year Since 2007We encouraged readers to give Penny Arcade, a children’s games charityWhich provides toys and games for children being treated in hospitals around the world. In recent years, we have added Electronic Frontier Foundation To support our charitable efforts, and assist them in their efforts to defend Internet freedom. This year, as always, we’re offering some extra incentives for those donations by giving donors a chance to win pieces of our big pile of vendor-submitted swag. We can’t keep it, and we don’t want it clogging up our offices, so now it’s yours to win.

This year’s swag pile is full of high-value goodies for nerds. We have dozens of prizes with a total value of over $4,000including gaming consoles, collectibles, computer accessories, apparel and more.
