Not sure, if it still counts for the first round, but no matter, I would like to suggest as well something.
I really like the idea from Martin, that the League should be considered somehow for additional money. And therefore $250 more to the League, if possible.
For the rest of the money I would add as well the $250 to the special games, if possible.
And if all is not possible, because these mentionend games are home games, I would use a part to bring up buy-in games again definitely! At least once a month.
And the rest I would use for tickets like you did at BaH. And if possible really to the CC members and not to the password thieves.
