The Child's Play charity announced that it has raised $2,294,317 in 2010, which is a new annual record for the organization. The charity which provides video games, toys and books to hospitalized children, has raised over $9 million in eight years.

"I could not be happier with the record shattering results of our incredible Charity," said co-founder Mike Krahulik.

"The world may be a better place than I previously thought," added co-founder Jerry Holkins.

Major Child's Play donators included the Humble Indie Bundle, which raise $300,000 for Child's Play this year, the "Desert Bus for Hope" marathon, which raised $207,000 and Microsoft's Gears of War-focused "The Fate of Carmine" campaign, which raised $150,000.

Child's Play currently serves hospitals in the U.S., U.K, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Egypt. Participating hospitals usually maintain Amazon wish lists and the organization accepts Paypal donations year-round.
