$38,000 has already been raised, but the clock's ticking. Ars Technica's annual sweepstakes is entering its final hours today, January 2nd. More than 450 readers have stepped up to support digital rights and hospitalized children, showing the power of the tech community.
Ars Technica Charity Drive 2025: Last Chance for Swag
It's not just about giving; it's about winning too. Donors and participants have a shot at over $4,000 worth of prizes. The funds are split between the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Child's Play. Currently, EFF holds a slight lead in total contributions as the drive nears its end.
Chasing the 2020 Record
While the current total is impressive, it's still trailing the record-breaking $58,000 raised in 2020. Experts at the publication believe a late-day surge could push this year's total significantly higher. There's no purchase necessary to enter the sweepstakes, making it an accessible way for the entire Ars community to get involved before the day's over.
