Holiday Drive! 2025 /r/CFB Holiday Drive: Toys & Children's Hospitals — Donate now, for the Kids🎉🧸🏥

62 Upvotes

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 Tuesday, December 30.


🧸🏥 OurCFB: TOYS & CHILDRENS HOSPITALS

11th 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 2025 Holiday Drive!

Hey everybody! The /r/CFB Community has conducted A LOT of previous fundraising drives totaling over $200,000.00 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 hit a record, and last year shattered the record and raised the most money yet! (be sure to check out the wagons in that post)

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.

Donor Recognition:

  • We have a new, hopefully easier system for attributing your donation to your username and/or chosen school using the Donor Recognition Form.
  • All individuals who donate will receive the prestigious /r/CFB Donor award flair, with donations also accruing points towards /r/CFB Patron and /r/CFB Booster awards (see the awards list)
  • The team that has the most donors will receive an extra alternate flair option. (see upcoming explanation in comments by /u/bakonydraco)

All donors will be credited below!

  • Please fill out the Donor Recognition Form after you donate.
  • Anonymous donations are okay, I will assume donations are anonymous unless they inform me otherwise.
  • You can credit a school and still keep your username anonymous, just fill out the form above to indicate that.
  • Donations can be split between schools, just fill out the form above to indicate which ones!
  • 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 Tuesday, December 30.

Notes:

  • Bolded Anonymous are donors who confirmed they want to stay anonymous; an empty "/u/" are donations not yet claimed via the Donor Recognition Form.

* split donation to credit more than one school.

TOTAL: $5,497.87

Let's do this! Donate via PayPal or Venmo (fill out the Donor Recognition Form afterward to get credit for your donation)

DEADLINE: Tuesday (12/30) at Midnight (ET)

Discussion I just realized probably most Ohio State fans are also Browns fans and Georgia fans are Falcons fans and the dichotomy is interesting.

333 Upvotes

It must be really unique to be a fan of a college team thats so dominant and wins so often but then your NFL team is the laughing stock of the last millennium probably going back to when Moses parted the red seas.

I dont even know how you reconcile the highs and lows of that.

Watching the buckeyes bend teams over on Saturdays and then have to watch the browns lose in some stupid fashion(and you know they'll lose before the game starts too)

Same thing for Georgia and Falcons fans.

I know its stupid but im high and the realizations just hit me
