It's always great when we can combine MMO gaming with the support of a good cause, and if you're a player of either Free Realms, EverQuest, or EverQuest II you have a chance to do just that with the Child's Play Winter Charity Drive. You can also get your characters some fun new items in the process.

From now until January 17th, Sony Online Entertainment has earmarked a few special items to support Child's Play, a game industry charity that provides toys and games to children in over 60 hospitals worldwide. The brand new Triceratops pet in Free Realms, the Child's Play Anklebiter doll in EverQuest, and the Child's Play Bouncing Baby Panda Cub in EverQuest II are all available now for 500 Station Cash each. For every purchase of one of these items, SOE will donate $10 to Child's Play, up to $50,000.

Child's Play has been around since 2003, and has donated nearly $1.4 million to the hospitals in their network this year.
