Last month, we asked readers to contribute to a number of great causes in our 2024 Charity Drive sweepstakes. And young boy, did you provide. With the drive now total and the contributions all tallied, we can report that Ars Technica readers provided an extraordinary $39,047.66to Child’s Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation in this year’s drive. That does not set a brand-new record, however it almost matches in 2015’s overall and raises our life time Ars Charity Drive contribution haul given that 2007 to over$540,000Well done, Arsians!

Thanks to everybody who provided whatever they could. We’re still early in the procedure of picking and alerting winners of our boodle free gift, so do not stress if you have not heard if you’re a winner. In the meantime, take pleasure in these fast statistics from the 2024 drive.
