Founded in 2003,  Penny-arcade set up and organized Child’s Play, a game industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in our network of over 60 hospitals worldwide. In five short years, you as a community have answered the call and come together to raise millions of dollars.  
Since the 2003 launch, 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 7 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 its inception.

This year, Child's Play Charity has continued expanding across the country and the globe. With over 70 partner hospitals and more arriving every year.

When gamers give back, it makes a difference!

2010 Marked our first year with Child's Play Charity.  We are honored to continue to be affiliated with them year after year.
