A charity drive is currently in progress, encouraging individuals to support two prominent organizations: Child's Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). The initiative facilitates donations through multiple channels, accompanied by a sweepstakes opportunity for participants.
Donations to Child's Play can be made directly via their website using credit cards or PayPal. Additionally, contributions can be made through a dedicated Ars Technica campaign page or by purchasing items from a specific hospital's Amazon wish list. For the EFF, donations are accepted via PayPal, credit card, or cryptocurrency. All contributions, regardless of size, are welcomed to support both charities.
Following a donation, individuals can enter a sweepstakes by submitting their donation receipt. A digital copy of the receipt, which could include a forwarded email, a screenshot, or copied text, must be emailed to [email protected]. The email should include the donor's name, postal address, daytime phone number, and email address. The deadline for sweepstakes entries is 11:59 pm ET on Wednesday, January 2, 2025.
It is important to note that there is a limit of one sweepstakes entry per person, with a maximum of one prize awarded per winner. The sweepstakes is open to US residents only. Those wishing to participate without making a donation can find details on alternative entry methods in the official rules. Participants should also refer to the Ars Technica privacy policy.
Winners of the sweepstakes will be contacted and given the opportunity to select their prizes by January 31, 2025. Prize selection will occur in the order that the winners are drawn.
