If you've been preoccupied with your new World of Warcraft abode and haven't yet joined this year's Ars Technica Charity Drive sweepstakes, there's still an opportunity. You can contribute to a meaningful cause and secure a chance to win a share of more than $4,000 in prizes (with no purchase necessary).
Within the initial days of the campaign, over 200 readers have already contributed over $11,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation or Child's Play, with donations leaning roughly 60/40 in favor of Child's Play. Although this is far from the 2020 record total of over $58,000, ample time remains, as the Charity Drive concludes on Friday, January 2, 2026.
That said, it's advisable not to delay your support. Take a moment now to make a contribution that benefits yourself and the participating charities.
