RetroBlast! is going all out this month for the Penny Arcade Child's Play Charity, running contests to help promote what is quickly becoming the official charity of gamers everywhere. From what I have seen the contests aim more at raising Child's Play awareness than gathering donations, but they've got that covered quite nicely themselves.

The December Charity Drive will culminate with a special treat for two children's hospitals in the United States. One children's hospital will receive an Arcade-In-A-Box Home Arcade Console and a second children's hospital will receive a complete Dream Arcades Home Arcade system.

They are currently running contests involving posting Child's Play flyers for a chance at a complete Dream Arcades arcade system, as well as a console gaming lair photo contest for a custom Xbox 360 arcade controller. There are 8 contests already posted, with more on the way. It truly is an amazing effort from RetroBlast! and their sponsors, so check it out and help them help you help children this holiday season.
