Let's talk about Child's Play for a second. Back in 2003 the guys from the mostly-videogame-oriented webcomic Penny Arcade got mad at a newspaper columnist who was recycling the too-easy trope "violent videogames are training children to kill." But instead of just spluttering to the choir on their website, they decided to put their money, and action, where their mouth was and organized a donation of videogames and toys to a Seattle children's hospital. That first year they raised about $150,000 in toys and cash for a single hospital. This year they're on their way to a goal of $750,000 for 40 different children's hospitals around the world. Likely there is one near you.
