Cardschat Holiday Charity Challenge

It's coming up on that time of the year again and CC'ers have been particularly generous in past challenges.

Beginning today thru December 9, I will pledge to spend 10% of all my winnings or $250 (whichever is higher) on charitable contributions for the holiday.

I don't have a charity that I give to for this time of the year as I have been one of those secret Santas that you hear about; in early December I'll stop at the local KMART store, go to the layaway counter and anonymously pay off a few layaways (looking for ones that are mostly children's toys and clothes).

So lets fill up this thread with your pledges, make a few updates as to your progress and post your final contribution.

Here's to a successful challenge. :beer:

Jilly, what a wonderful idea! Who's in?

I will pledge 5% of my profits or $100 - whichever is highest. I am not sure yet what I will do with it. I will let you guys know later!

Very nice, Sunny! Let us know when you make your donation.

I give 50% of my winnings or 100% of my losses to my priest in the first 15 days of dec. This is for his benefit fund.

Looks like I will be donating more than $100.

My progress, I am up +$1833 for this challenge so far.

How thoughtful, especially with Thanksgiving right around the corner!

I will be donating $211 to someone - not sure who yet. It will probably be a pet charity. Will post here when I have done it. Or I might do what Jilly is doing - that sounds like fun.

Just visit the BBB website and check on how your charity distributes its donations. Donate smart.

I have chosen the place that brought Bandit and Patch to us:

Also - I gave them 10% of my profits instead of 5% so changed my 1st post

Jilly, what a wonderful idea! Who's in?

I think Lock is let me waiting

but thanks giving is not let me waiting

I would make it tomorrow

just my copy...

thanks CC and hope everyone have a good thanks giving. best luck on the tables and life.

Forgot to post itt, so i'm late to the party, but I love when CC does these.


I will be making my donation of roughly 460$ (got 2 days to grind left, so will post w/final #) to "Xans Fans". It's a charity/organization helping out a young boy in my local area who has terminal cancer.

Also, if you have facebook, it would be awesome if you could go give a "like" to Xans Fans. The whole idea is to get Xan, the terminally ill boy, over 1 million facebook likes.

I haven't been playing much at all this month but I know I'm due to cash in something before the end of the month. My donation 'in advance' is a new tricycle I purchased at Canadian Tire... dropped it off at the local Salvation Army for their Family Christmas hamper.
I will pick up another bike for each & any final tables I hit over the rest of the month.

trike - $65

If it is not too late, may be we can donate the freerolls winners purse collectively for charity. Too cumbersome?

Stopped in at my local K-MART, had the Layaway clerk pull 4 random orders that appeared to contain mostly kids toys and paid them off, about $325 total. Left a Christmas card with each say 'Have a Wonderful Holiday. Secret Santa!!'.

Well done guys, generous as always, good karma coming your way

good idea

This is a fabulous idea! I will be giving what I can here where I live and I plan on donating some of my time as we'll!
