IndieGala, a game and music bundler similar to humble bundle, has selected the ablegamers foundation as its charity to support for the two week sale. This is bringing a ton of awareness to the cause.

Even some minor celebrities such as those from the WWE have tweeted about ablegamers thanks to this.
