Final reminder: Donate to win swag in our annual Charity Drive sweepstakes

If you've been too busy [replaying all of Ars' top games of 2025][1] to take part in [this year's Ars Technica Charity Drive sweepstakes][2], don't worry. You still have until the end of the day to donate to a good cause and get a chance to win your share of over $4,000 worth of swag (no purchase necessary to win).

So far in this year's charity drive, over 450 readers have contributed nearly $38,000 to either the [Electronic Frontier Foundation][3] or [Child's Play][4] as part of the charity drive (EFF has now taken a slight lead in the donation totals so far). That's still a ways away from [2020's record haul of over $58,000][5], but I know we can make a run at it if readers really dig deep today!

If you've been putting off your donation, now is the time to stop that procrastination. Do yourself and the charities involved a favor and give now while you're thinking about it and while you can still enter our sweepstakes.
