Throughout Desert Bus for Hope 2020, we asked you to share what Desert Bus and Child’s Play means to them, and what impact these have had on your life. We’ve been honored by the numerous voices that shared their feelings and experiences using the hashtag #DBToMe on Twitter.

Today, as we celebrate the historic milestone of raising $1,000,000 in one year for Child’s Play, we wanted to take one more opportunity to highlight you, our community, and your experiences. In case you missed a previous post, here’s a link to some of the other highlights we shared throughout this year’s run…

Nov. 15th | Nov. 16th | Nov. 18th | Nov. 19th

As always, thanks to you for being a part of our community and your support of Child’s Play! Let’s wrap things up with a few additional highlights from the year (posted in November 2020)…

In a year full of terrible uncertainty, loneliness, &heartache, I told myself I could keep going if @DesertBus was still happening. The highlight of a hurricane of a year, this outpouring of goodness was more powerful than I have the words to say. Thank you, everyone. #DBTOME

Desert Bus truly reminds me that there’s still truly good in the world. When the world seems to be on fire, either globally or personally, I always know that come November I’ll have something that shines a light through the darkness. I’m forever grateful to all the crew!💜#DBtoMe

Like many people, this year has been a struggle for my mental health. However, for one beautiful week I was reminded of the sheer positivity, kindness and generosity that humans are capable of. I'm so happy to be able to support such a good cause organized by good people. #DBTOME

Thirteen years ago @DesertBus helped me through the dark days of Fall, way back in highschool when everything seemed awful and hard.

in 2020 – 7 million dollars and over a decade later – it still does.

Thanks, Desert Bus. for everything. <3

This year has really helped show me what DesertBus means to me. Earlier in this run when this challenge went out I had no idea what I wanted to write, what does DesertBus really mean to me. It's more than giveaways, it's more than the skits and silliness on stage 1/5#DBtoMe

@desertbus i was in and out of a childrens hospital before Childs play was a thing, so having games and distractions then was huge and i fully understand the good Child's Play does, Thank you! #DBTOME

There are so many things I could say about what Desert Bus means to me. I could talk about how I've been watching since 3, making silly GIFs since 7 and modding since 8, and how proud I am to be in this community that does incredible things for charity #DBToMe
