Desert Bus for Hope

A huge assembled crew of Desert Bus members cheers as the lifetime total ticks up over $10,000,000 lifetime. As soon as it does, a trio marches in holding bright gold balloons that spell out 10,000,000. Lights flash as confetti falls from the ceiling.

Tonight, Desert Bus for Hope reached an unfathomable milestone: Ten. Million. Dollars. Raised for Child's Play Charity over the event's lifespan. Did you get that?! Do you comprehend? Because we sure don't. It is incomprehensible.

We literally wouldn't be here without our Volunteers, Sponsors, and YOU. Thank you for being with us on this journey into the broken day-night cycle that is Desert Bus. These moments of silliness are the vehicle for bringing comfort to children in hospitals and making an incredibly difficult life experiences a bit more bearable.

If you'd told us in 2007 that this would be the future of Desert Bus for Hope, we'd never have believed you.

The engineering team screams and waves a pair of popped gold foil balloons around, jumping and pumping their fists in joy at the recently crossed $10 million lifetime total.

We're still live and still going for at least another 155 hours. Your donations literally drive us to keep going, keep dancing, and keep giving. Onwards to the next $10 million!
