Child's Play now rests at $1,502,659.93, around seventy thousand dollars more than last year, which means I may now adjust my rhetoric downward in intensity. Feel free to donate! That is still a good idea, and typically happens well into the new year, even though the official drive "comes to a close" December 31st. There's really no two ways about it, though: in The Worst Year Ever, Child's Play had its best. Over the seven years it has been in existence, this distributed, very nearly frictionless engine has raised just shy of six and a half million dollars in toys, games, and cash. What we store up during the winter months is distributed to children all year, as though from Joy Silos.
