Raising Money – it’s Child’s Play
The Penny Arcade Child’s Play Charity Dinner Auction took place Tuesday night, and by all reasonable measures, it was a great success. Over $200,000 was raised for the Child’s Play drive, and lots and lots of fancy clothing that never gets worn by its owners got to see the light of day. There were only a couple of Halo-related items up for sale – a signed Legendary Helmet and a gorgeous print from the Halo 2 ARG I Love Bees – but that shouldn’t stop you from checking out Hawty McBloggy’s writeup, or her photo gallery of the evening. It’s always cool when gamers make good!(Louis Wu 14:43:57 UTC)
