Every year I try to give a shout out to Gabe and Tycho over at Penny Arcade and link you to their Child's Play charity, which gives toys, books, and games to sick kids in hospitals; usually those undergoing long term care.
Basically, it is a way for gamers to give back to the community and show that not everyone who has played a first person shooter is an immoral serial-killer-to-be. Plus, it is a good cause all on it's lonesome.
This year: six countries, half a million raised so far. Help keep it going.
