How long the team has to play Desert Bus is determined by the donations we receive–The more you donate, the longer we play.

In order to reflect the increasing challenge as the marathon goes on, the donations required to add another hour increase geometrically every hour.

The first hour costs $1.00, and the cost-per-hour goes up by 7% every hour (meaning the second costs $1.07). This means that the 10th hour of busing costs $1.84 and total donations are $13.82, whereas the 40th hour costs $13.99 but has made a total of $199.64.

The donation total in the sidebar will be updated frequently. Remember that we are using ChipIn to track our donations, so all your money is going directly to Child’s Play.
