Holiday Drive! 2024 /r/CFB Holiday Drive: Toys & Children's Hospitals — Donate now, for the Kids [10th Annual!!🎉🧸🏥]

175 Upvotes

Update: Drive has reached its official end. We have raised over $30,000.00 from over 600 donations, shattering previous records. With how the PayPal Giving Fund works, the final donations will not be made until late-January/early-February as in the previous holiday drives we've had as a 501(c)(3), we also have some employer matching-funds and a donor-advised fund grant coming in that will be added when they arrive (I will update this post as additions are made). Any donations before the final donation will be added if they are before the final donations are made by OurCFB in late-January/early-February. We will be making a separate update post after all of that happens. If you want to let me know about a donation you made that was not attributed below, just send me a PM with the transaction ID and I will be happy to add it so you can earn award flair, there is no deadline for that.


TL;DR: It's our annual holiday charity drive. All money received is donated and tax deductible. 50% goes to Toys For Tots, 50% to children's hospitals. Earn Donor Award flair! Donate Now! Deadline: Midnight (ET) on Sunday, December 29. [Drive Over]


🧸🏥 OurCFB: TOYS & CHILDRENS HOSPITALS

10th ANNUAL /r/CFB HOLIDAY DRIVE


All money raised will be donated.

The total will be split 50% to Toys For Tots and 50% to three children's hospitals (detailed below).

Welcome to the 2024 Holiday Drive!

Hey everybody! The /r/CFB Community has conducted A LOT of previous fundraising drives totaling over $165,000.00 since 2013, including purchasing nearly 60 bricks across the country!

The first 5 Holiday Drives culminated in a team of redditors joining me (dressed as Raoul Claus) on a giant shopping spree where we buy thousands of dollars in toys and then donate them to the nearest Toys For Tots warehouse: check out the photos from 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. We shifted to purely online donations in 2020 and 2021.

Ahead of the 2022 drive, the subreddit formed OurCFB (more below). The 2023 drive raised the most money yet!

Benefits of donating to OurCFB:

  • OurCFB is an IRS-recognized non-profit 501(c)(3).
  • Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
  • We qualify for corporate matching gifts from employers, typically only possible to recognized 501(c)(3) organizations; we have jumped through the hoops to be cleared by several organizations that vet non-profits for such programs (e.g. Benevity), if you need us to add one just reach out to me.
  • We qualify for donor-advised fund (DAF) grants

If you want to know more about the non-profit, and how things are structured, I’ve written a detailed description here.


Team Reward: Children's Hospitals

Rewarding the fanbases that donate the most money, the portion designated for children's hospitals will be split as follows:

  • 50% to a children's hospital of fanbase with the highest donations (dollar total)
  • 30% to a children's hospital of fanbase with the 2nd highest donations (dollar total)
  • 20% to a children's hospital of fanbase with the 3rd highest donations (dollar total)

If a fanbase in the top-3 has a children's hospital affiliated with their university, the donation will go there. If they do not, we will discuss with those specific flaired donors which children's hospital to donate the money to once the drive is complete. To keep things simple: decision will go by majority vote of donors of that school, with the mods having final approval of any split (or potential tomfoolery). We have made this work in the past for programs without in-house children's hospitals such as Notre Dame, Clemson, Army, and South Dakota State.


HOW TO DONATE:


Contribute to good causes!

As a 501(c)(3), we have optimized donation options:

  • Paypal (Preferred). No transaction fee. We get 100% of what you donate. The trade-off is PayPal only makes the deposit once-per-month to save on their own transaction fees.
  • Venmo. We get a lower transaction fee as a non-profit, but there's still a small amount (1.9% + 10¢) taken off the top.

All donors will be credited below!

  • Do not forget to private message me to let me know so I can connect it to your (1) username and (2) college team you want credited below.
  • Anonymous donations are okay, I will assume donations are anonymous unless they inform me otherwise.
  • We have team logos for over 2000 schools worldwide, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a major school (full list)
  • There is no recommended minimum for this charitable drive; though points for flair (see below) are awarded in $10 increments

DEADLINE: Midnight (ET) on Sunday, December 29.


RAOUL CLAUS LOVES YOU... 10 years brings a tear to his eye!

/r/CFB Original /r/CFB Donates $10,000 to Tampa Bay area charities on the field of the 2024 Gasparilla Bowl!

420 Upvotes

IMAGE: Delivering the Novelty Check with Gasparilla Bowl executive director Scott Glaser and representatives of the 5 charitable organizations.

Huge shoutout to @RedditCFB Community for raising $10K for hurricane relief in #TampaBay! 🙌 r/CFB's Bobak Ha’eri delivered the donation to #GasparillaBowlGivesBack partners @ChiChiFoundation, @FeedingTampaBay , @TBWaterkeeper , @jia83foundation & @bfftampa . Thanks, Reddit CFB! 🏴‍☠️

https://x.com/GasparillaBowl/status/1870223576424391069

[Since the Gasparilla Bowl is a pirate-themed event, and I already look and dress like an aging musician, I hired a make-up artist to just close that gap between pirate and Alice Cooper.]


Background

/r/CFB was the "Official Fan Voice of the Game" of the 2024 Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl between the Tulane Green Wave and Florida Gators!

As part of that we had comments from the game thread put on the Raymond James Stadium video board in the 4th quarter. There were five of us on the ground in Tampa helping run their social, capturing the field-level activity, doing reporting, and handing out the money raised by users, along with help from the rest of the /r/CFB team in sorting through a lot of activity that just needed to get done.

In addition to the above, we had a charitable community drive to donate $10,000 to the charities associated with Gasparilla Bowl Gives Back, benefiting the local community and specifically Feeding Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay Waterkeepers, Bullard Family Foundation, Chi Chi Rodriguez Foundation, and Jackson in Action 83 Foundation. Because Gasparilla Bowl wants it to be about the organizations, they asked us to actually directly depositing into each of their accounts and not through them.

I'm proud to say /r/CFB donated as much to the charities as the bowl's title sponsor (which paid many times more to become the title sponsor).

Most Important:

  1. Thanks to all of you who DONATED
  2. Thanks to all of you who HELPED
  3. Thanks for making /r/CFB a great COMMUNITY

Join the us in giving to the ongoing 2024 Holiday Drive!

100% of money received is given out: half to Toys For Tots, the other half distributed to 3 Children's Hospitals representing the 3 most generous fanbases! You can earn your own unique awards flair!

The Border War (Kansas-Missouri) is coming back next year in week 3 for the first time since 2011 and I haven’t heard it mentioned at all on this sub. When the Backyard Brawl and Texas-Texas A&M were coming back, people mentioned it constantly even outside those fan bases. It’s been played the same amount of times as Texas-Oklahoma and has the same background in a war as Ohio State-Michigan. I’m so excited to watch this thing.

Discussion How did Purdue get so bad?

121 Upvotes

Purdue is often known as an average team that has a high chance of upsetting good teams #Spoilermakers. However, this year's Purdue is one of the most disappointing teams other than FSU. No competitive matches against good teams. 1 win. So what happened to Purdue to make it so awful? It lost its bench due to NIL? Many of the Purdue losses were not close, so it's not just a "close games that could have gone the other way".

How did Purdue get so bad? Is it the portal's fault?
