If you’ve been too busy reading about major game publisher leaks to take part in 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 $2,500 worth of swag (no purchase necessary to win).

So far, over 220 readers have contributed more than $19,000 to either the Electronic Frontier Foundation or Child’s Play as part of the charity drive (EFF is still leading in the donation totals by nearly $6,000). That’s a long way from 2020’s record haul of over $58,000, but there’s still plenty of time until the Charity Drive wraps up on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

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.
