Just before the holiday break, I implored you all to donate to the 2020 Ars Charity Drive sweepstakes and help us beat our previous annual Charity Drive record of $38,861. In the weeks since, Ars readers have come through with flying colors. If you weren’t one of those readers, don’t worry—you still have one final chance to join them today.
Thus far, over 700 readers have donated a record $51,000+ to either the Electronic Frontier Foundation or Child’s Play as part of the 2020 charity drive (Child’s Play is now leading in the donation totals by about $3,000). That’s already an absolute shattering of 2016’s previous annual record, and it brings the lifetime Ars Charity Drive haul close to $390,000 since 2007.
Today is the last day for the 2020 Charity Drive, so if you missed your chance to give during the holiday break, don’t delay! See below for instructions on how to enter, and check out the Charity Drive kickoff post for a complete list of available prizes.
