Readers have until the end of the day to donate to the Ars Technica Charity Drive sweepstakes, which offers a chance to win over $4,000 worth of prizes while supporting charitable causes. The annual drive benefits the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Child's Play.

As of today, more than 450 Ars Technica readers have contributed nearly $38,000 to the two charities. While the EFF has received slightly more in donations so far, organizers are hoping for a final push to surpass the 2020 record of over $58,000. The sweepstakes is open to all, with no purchase necessary to win.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is a non-profit digital rights group defending civil liberties in the digital world. Child's Play is a charity that provides games and consoles to children in hospitals and shelters.

Donating is straightforward, and instructions for entering the sweepstakes can be found in the Charity Drive kickoff post, which also lists all available prizes. The Ars Technica team encourages those who have been considering donating to act now, both to support the charities and to enter the sweepstakes before it closes.
