If you were too distracted by the best trailers of The Game Awards to notice the start of this year's Ars Technica Charity Drive sweepstakes, don't worry. You still have time to donate to a good cause and get a chance to win your share of over $2,000 worth of swag (no purchase necessary to win).
So far this year, after roughly five days, over 100 readers have donated over $6,500 to either the Electronic Frontier Foundation or Child's Play as part of the charity drive (Child's Play is leading in the donation totals by just over $100, for what it's worth). That's a bit slower than last year's starting pace and a long way off from 2020's record annual haul of over $58,000, but there's still plenty of time until the Charity Drive wraps up on January 3, 2023.
That doesn't mean you should put your donation off, though. Do yourself and the charities involved a favor and give now while you're thinking about it. Don't forget and end up kicking yourself in January for not participating.
