Operation Supply Drop, an organization that puts games and gaming hardware in the hands of soldiers deployed to combat zones as well as those receiving care in military hospitals, announced today that it has raised $24,736 so far as a part of its "Pixel Fireworks" fundraising drive - more than double its original fundraising goal. The drive, which you can still support through July 7, has already been backed by the likes of Epic, Ubisoft, and Wizards of the Coast.
"We're especially excited to be working with AbleGamers Charity," said OSD founder Captain Stephen "Shanghai Six" Machuga. "As the US shifts from combat operations to peacetime, it gets easy for people to forget about the men and women who served; AbleGamers Charity will be a huge ally in making sure that Operation Supply Drop is able to support them as they recover from injuries they received in combat."
You can support OSD throughout the year with donations of money, games, hardware, and even by shopping on Amazon via its affiliate link on the official Operation Supply Drop site . And because OSD is an officially recognized 501c3 charity, all donations are completely and utterly tax-deductible and instantly increase the net quotient of awesome in the world.
Captain "Shanghai Six" Machuga also runs the gaming website Front Towards Gamer , where you can catch his interview PC Gamer's Logan Decker .
