Enlarge / Just some of the prizes you can win in our Charity Drive Sweepstakes.

As of this writing, just over 500 entrants have donated a bit more than $15,000 to this year’s Ars Technica Charity Drive sweepstakes. That’s well under the $38,861 record Arsians set during last year’s epic charity drive.

That’s the bad news. The good news—both for breaking the record and for those that want a chance to win some of the awesome swag we’re giving away—is that there are still a couple of weeks left before the January 3 entry deadline.

I know this year’s batch of Ars Technica readers is much more generous than the readers we had last year (those miserly cheapskates). Let’s prove it by digging deep and adding more donations to the EFF or Child’s Play using the directions listed below.
