In addition to donating towards a great cause, the more money that is raised, the more these people have to play the game. Right now, they're going to be playing the game for 113 hours. More donations will add more time to their fun.
Desert Bus is the world's longest running internet-based fundraiser and has raised more than $1.8 million for Child's Play over its seven-year history.
What started as an improptu event broadcast from a living room is now a professionally organized fundraiser; it takes more than 15 people to plan the event and another 45 dedicated volunteers to keep the whole thing running once it starts.
Our viewers direct the action, talking with us via live chat, challenging us to sing, dance and generally make fools of ourselves in front of thousands of viewers. The Desert Bus Craft-Along allows people from all over the world to help us raise money by donating incredible handmade art and goods for auction.
Desert Bus is a great example of what happens when a huge community of people from all over the world - organizers, volunteers, crafters and viewers - come together to achieve a common goal.

What exactly is Desert Bus? It's a mini-game for a never released Sega CD game, Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors. It tasks the player with driving an unreliable, virtual bus on an eight hour trip through the desert from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada. The bus constantly pulls to the side ensuring that the driver can't just put down the controls and walk away.
Last year the team raised over $523,000 for the Child's Play Charity. You can watch the stream below or head on over to the Desert Bus website for donation info, a list of prizes, and various other incentives that the team will offer during their multiple trips.
