Paul's Blog

I am a huge fan of helping people out. In fact, I love to donate time and resources to as many organizations as I can; especially those in need of health or food.

Child's Play is a charity based in Seattle that donates toys, games, books, and even cash to sick kids in children's hospitals around the US and the world. 100% of all donations go directly to the kids and the hospitals. What makes this charity different than most is that it is supported by gamers and game companies. So unbeknownst to you, your game-playing teenagers may have been doing some good deeds while hunch over their keyboards. My kid, my wife, and I play countless games on many systems, so it's really nice to know that what I would consider a possible "time killer" is actually something that could be saving lives.

Childs Play have raised $963k this year and would really like to make it to one million dollars. Maybe you can talk to your CPA and get them to fudge your numbers a little get in a 2006 donation. I'd have told you guys sooner, but I just found out about it today! If nothing else, they could get a good start for next year.

They have a huge list of corporate sponsors, and countless people from around the globe have already donated. If you're a gamer or if you know one, get your game on and help out some kids in need.
