If the guys from Penny Arcade aren’t awesome enough already, their charity – Child’s Play – definitely pushes them over into that category.

$2,294,317.53 was raised during 2010 for children’s hospitals across the country (and a few offshore from America,) through auctions, donations, and toys bought for hospitals off their Amazon wishlists. Which, according to Tycho (Jerry Holkins, for those politically correct people) is almost over nine million overall that the charity has collected over the years.

For that much money to go to such a good cause throughout the year, I think all involved in this wonderful charity deserve a word of thanks for all their effort for those sick kids. It just goes to show how big gamers’ hearts happen to be despite being seen in such a negative light at times. You guys are certainly awesome and here’s hoping there’s another good year for this charity!
