/r/CFB Donates over $13,500 to Children's Hospitals, Toys For Tots, and bricks, thanks to the 7th annual Holiday Drive!

The best thing about the r/CFB is the Community, and an important extension of that is its generosity. The tradition continued in our 24th charitable drive, the 2021 r/CFB Holiday Drive: Bricks, Toys, & Children's Hospitals!

Since 2013, r/CFB readers have donated over $125,000 to charity.

##Donation Breakdown:

We're still in the pandemic, so we continued the variation we developed last year: Raoul Claus stayed home, so we shifted to all online donations. In addition to Toys For Tots and children's hospitals, brick donations this season to 5 new schools!

After the money was put to the 5 bricks, the rest was split evenly between Toys For Tots and Children's Hospitals.

##Donations to Children's Hospitals

The $6,083.44 was divided among the top-3 most generous fanbases:

• 50% to Notre Dame
• 30% to Arkansas
• 20% to Clemson

Notre Dame and Clemson returned, joined by newcomer Arkansas. Although Notre Dame and Clemson do not have a medical schools, we were able to use the same hospitals identified last year, when we looked to which children's hospitals their athletic/university benefits favor. Arkansas does have a Medical School (UAMS) with an affiliated Arkansas Children's Hospital with locations in Little Rock and NW Arkansas (Springdale).

So the Children's Hospital donations were:

First place: Notre Dame Fighting Irish

• $3,041.72 to Beacon Children’s Hospital, South Bend (Notre Dame)
• RECEIPT

Second place: Arkansas Razorbacks

• $1,825.04 to Arkansas Children's Hospital (Arkansas)
• RECEIPT

Third place: Clemson Tigers
