2017 /r/CFB Holiday Drive: Bricks & Toys — Donate now, for the Children!
#The Drive is Over! Thanks to everyone who donated, we raised $9,125.69!
tl;dr: Donate here, the money is going to bricks and toys that will be donated to charity!
# 2017 r/CFB HOLIDAY DRIVE
Hey everybody! r/CFB has conducted 16 previous fundraising drives, including purchasing 38 bricks across the country! In addition we've conducted two previous holiday drives resulting in a team of redditors joining me (dressed as Raoul Claus, see below) 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 and 2016! (They really are fun and I invite any interested readers to join us)
#LET'S DO IT AGAIN!
This year we're aiming to purchase bricks at 4 schools ($850 total) and using the rest to buy toys to donate!
Donate here! (minimum $10)- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Make sure to include your (1) username and (1) college team you want credited below either in the comment space provided by PayPal (screenshot) or as a PM to me!
- Anonymous donations are okay, just let me know instead of username. PayPal Money Pools (see sticky comment) offer even more anonymity than before: I've set it so no names appear on the donation list, and you can further choose to be totally anonymous when you donate.
- We have team logos for over 2000 schools worldwide, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a major school (full list); if you don't want it to go toward a school, let me know
- All donors will be credited below!
- DEADLINE: Sunday, 12/17 at midnight ET.
| School | Brick Program | Cost | Type | Funded? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Tech | Frazier Alumni Pavilion | $250 | 4x8 | ☑ YES |
| Wisconsin | Camp Randall 100 Brick Walk | $250 | 8x8 | ☑ YES |
| EMU | Championship Building | $250 | 8x8 | ☑ YES |
| Kennesaw | Black and Gold Way | $100 | 4x8 | ☑ YES |
#HELP US BUY AND DELIVER TOYS! aka The Return of Raoul Claus
If you're in the Twin Cities, I'd love to have you join me as we go on a Toy-R-Us shopping spree and deliver the toys to the main Toys For Tots warehouse. I will dress up again as Santa's ever-so-slightly-shady cousin, twice removed, Raoul Claus.
Here's the plan:
-
Tuesday, 10am CT, we meet at Toys-R-Us, 14100 Wayzata Blvd, Minnetonka, MN 55305 (right by 394/494 interchange off Plymouth Rd).
-
Then we deliver the toys to the main Minnesota Toys For Tots Warehouse (this year they've moved to an even closer spot to that Toys-R-Us: 5017 Boone Ave N, New Hope, MN 55428—just off 169).
-
Afterward, you're all welcome to be my personal guest for coffee or lunch, depending on the time.
-
You're not required to participate in both, just what you want.
-
If you want to help, PLEASE PM ME.
It was fun last year (as you can see from the links I posted above: 1, 2), so please consider joining in!

* It wouldn't let me donate to my own Money Pool, so I've tacked on my money at the end.
[People listed as "Anonymous?" didn't tell me their Reddit username in the PayPal Money Pool comment or as a PM; some just used team slogans which I have made sure reflect here]
TOTAL: $9,125.69
Let's do this!
DEADLINE: Sunday, 12/17 at midnight
THANK YOU!!!
