How this works
Giving is simple. Just donate to Child’s Play with a credit card or PayPal, or donate to the EFF using PayPal, a card, or cryptocurrency. You can also support Child’s Play directly via this Ars Technica campaign page or by selecting an item from a specific hospital’s Amazon wish list on its donation page. Give whatever amount feels right—every contribution helps.
After that, register your entry in our sweepstakes. Save a digital copy of your receipt (a forwarded email, a screenshot, or a copied-and-pasted receipt) and send it to [email protected] along with your name, mailing address, daytime phone number, and email by 11:59 pm ET Friday, January 2, 2026. (One entry per person; each person may win no more than one prize. US residents only. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. See Official Rules for details, including how to enter without making a donation. Also consult the Ars Technica privacy policy (https://www.condenast.com/privacy-policy).)
We will then notify the winners and have them select their prize by January 31, 2026 (selections are made in the order winners are drawn). Good luck!
