Eurogamer:
GamesAid is an umbrella charity we care about because it belongs to and is propelled by everyone working in the UK games industry. We direct our fundraising and support towards GamesAid which then divides the money across a selection of charities focused on helping disadvantaged and disabled young people.
We, personally, donate gifts we're sent so they can be sold at auction, and if we happen to be running a marathon (why did I sign up for that?!) or doing a Tough Mudder or any kind of fundraising event, we tend to put GamesAid on our bib. As does everyone else, be they developer, PR, games shop, journalist and so on.
