* In the "taking a dive" vein, several people made requests of the cast in exchange for a donation of a specified size - for example, Bill drank an entire carton of eggnog, and James played the game while upside down for nearly fifteen minutes.  Matt raised $75 by drinking a "Nog Bomb", that being a shot glass of egg nog, dropped into half a pint of Colt 45. Paul offered to shave his beard in exchange for a single donation of $5,000.

Desert Bus for Hope 2009 was officially announced on March 26th, when the first update was posted on [http://www.desertbus.org Desertbus.org]. The countdown to the event began on August 25th 2009 with a challenge from [[James]] that if the site reached $10 000 by the event's starting date, November 20th, 2009, he would drive the bus for the first 12 hours of the event. The goal was met, and James did the 12 hours, becoming the only DBfH to do a complete run from Tuscon to Las Vegas. After 5 days, 16 hours (136 hours), and large number of auctions, caramelldansen, surprise guest appearances, and other craziness, the final total was 140 449.68 USD. The crew presented a novelty-size cheque Child's Play Charity Dinner for that approximate amount (the last few donations had yet to be tallied when the cheque had to be printed).

At the end of the run, the total raised was 986,793.00 USD, running for 164 hours. However, due to money raised after the run (from Fangamer and the LRR store), the official total of DB 2020 was 1,052,092 USD. This not only was the first year where Desert Bus raised over a million dollars in a single run, but also pushed them into an unanticipated 165th hour. This hour was accounted for during Desert Bus Done Quick, on Saturday, January 16th, 2021.

“ You guys are the greatest idea. If you didn't exist I would have to invent you. ”
- Penn Jillette, co-creator of Desert Bus on November 20, 2010
Desert Bus Logo.png

Desert Bus for Hope (DBfH or DB) is an annual charity fundraiser. Organised by a large team of volunteers including many members of LoadingReadyRun, DBfH raises money for Child's Play by playing Desert Bus, a minigame from the unreleased Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors as long as people keep donating.

Background

The cast agreed to play Desert Bus for an hour for each increment of money donated - the amount necessary increased by seven percent each time the increment was reached. So the first hour would require one dollar to be donated, the second a dollar seven, and so on. The money earned went to the charity Child's Play which provides video games, toys and books to children's hospitals all over the world. To date (post-Desert Bus 2019), the run has earned more than 6 million USD.

Desert Bus generates a lot of its own tropes and terminology that pass from year to year. You can find explanations and origin stories for many of these in the Desert Bus Lexicon.
