pennyarcadeWe welcome back Penny Arcade as a sponsor of Desert Bus for Hope 2018.

Penny Arcade began life as a webcomic under the helms of Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik in 1998. Since then, they have grown into a powerhouse of digital entertainment with their own selections of video content, podcasts, webcomics, and the Penny Arcade Expo family of conventions. Most dear to us here at Desert Bus is their founding of Child’s Play Charity, without which Desert Bus wouldn’t be what it is today.

Thank you Penny Arcade for your contributions and support of Desert Bus for Hope!
