What a Year!

Congrats to Child's Play! This year, we (as a whole...not just the show) raised $2,294,317.53! That's a LOT of money and I want to thank everyone who donated to the show. Thanks so much!

The current plan is to do this again, with a bigger venue and awesome comics. See you in December!

Tomorrow Night

Well, it's almost here. TOMORROW NIGHT. Bring out all your friends and family to the Opening Bell Coffee House and help us raise money so kids in children's hospitals can have a great Christmas. And really this is a gift that keeps giving cause the money you donate will be used to buy games, toys and books that the children can use year-round.

So far, Child's Play has raised over $1,430,000 this year alone. They have broke their own donation bar, and I want to break ours over to the right. If you can't come to the show, you can donate $5 by texting GAMERS to 50555, or you can buy the Humble Indie Bundle with proceeds going to Child's Play.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Breaking the $1 Million Mark

I was so excited about the show on Friday and all our awesome prizes that I forgot to say that Child's Play broke $1 million on the 10th! Considering how hard times are and all the worries most of us had, that's really exciting. And thanks to all the people that have donated so far! We just hit the $50 mark, but Dallas was named the 4th most generous city in the US (actual news, not fake) so I know lots of people will be there this Friday. Hope to see you there!
