This year’s Child’s Play has begunChild’s Play is a Seattle based, gamer-run organization that holds an annual toy drive for childrens’ hospitals. Many of the gifts donated by gamers are, as you might imagine, age appropriate videogames and gaming systems – but they are by no means the only things donated. We received eager donations of coloring books, art supplies, crafts, movies, cartoons, virtually anything a young person could ask for. We asked the world-wide community of gamers, and they gave so much we had to move to larger storage facilities three separate times.
Our 2003 event raised over two hundred fifty thousand dollars in toys and cash for the Seattle Childrens’ Hospital. This year, we’ve expanded Child’s Play from its home in Seattle to four additional cities: Oakland, San Diego, Houston, and Washington DC.
