Are there people on here who will not participate if they don't like the charity? Would someone not go with the idea if I chose the charity being a feed the hunger or medicine for kids charity? No charity is a bad charity and I would be shocked if the turnout was less because people who rather see charity ABC receive the relatively small amount that charity XYZ. I would like to see a charity that can have an immediate effect on the money get it, such as a feed the hungry. If the money could feel 200-500 people, wouldn't that be awesome! |

Why would someone get on Jim just because he places a higher value on the life of unborn humans than he does on groups that want more "humane" living conditions for chickens and cows? It seems like he has his priorities straight on this one. |

Would you all participate if I chose the charity the day I send the package to REA? Again, any charity is a good charity, and knowing you've done something nice should make it worth while. |

Lets please don't turn this nice deed everyone wants to do into an argument. I think Operation Rescue is a great cause and so are all of the others. I can't tell you how many times I have had tears in my eyes over seeing mistreated animals. I also get tears in my eyes over seeing hungy and impoverished children (I really have a soft heart behind my dictator front)...and I am sure making old timer baseball players lives better would be a good cause too. I am not saying to split the bit of money we collect a million ways but maybe we could pick 2 things to donate to.....We really have to get something done soon if we want to take Rob up on his offer...best regards (and leave Trixie out of it....she sleeps with me every night and we are quite happy )... Unconditional love.... |

Thank you Leon for endorsing Operation Rescue as a "great cause"--I think that should be one of the two or three we choose. |

There are many charities that we can all agree are worthy without considering some that are controversial in nature. I think Operation Rescue is one that fits in the latter category and I would suggest that we eliminate it from our list of possibilities. This is not a pro or anti abortion statement, just a statement that we should choose a charity that EVERYONE feels good about. |

Absolutely. There are so many worthy charities, and we should be able to pick one. I think we should have it decided by tomorrow so that we can start sending our cards in beginning Monday. |

my mistake....I just googled and found out Operation Rescue is not the same local "operation rescue" I was thinking of. The local one, I think, has to do with animals and not humans. Operation Rescue might be a great cause but I am not going there...It was my mistake on that...sorry for the blooper....I think I might do a quick poll in a thread to ask everyone's favorite 2 charities.....??? |

I have nothing against charities for animals, its really sad the conditions some of them live in. BUT when I had this idea originally, I was thinking that somehow the auction would benefit people and in a more immediate fashion - hence why I am really in support of the money going to a feed the hunger charities or medicine for children charity. |

Leon- asking everyone to name their two favorite charities is akin to asking New Yorkers to name their two favorite steakhouses, and you know where that gets you. |

If saving human lives is too controvertial, how about something to help our war veterans--or is helping our soldiers too controvertial sas well. |

How about let me make the decision and trust my judgment that the donation will go to a could cause, and lets get some envelopes in the mail. If waiting until 2/21 to announce the charity pervents some people from donating, well then that's their problem. |

Kyle, Great idea. I will donate a card worth at least $100. All I ask is that it be a legitimate charity that truly helps humans or animals (no political - left or right causes). You can pick it as far as I am concerned. Thanks to REA as well. Mike |

Thanks, Joann. I look forward to receive your item. From those who have mentioned they will contribute, we've got a few nice items on the way. Still, we'll need more people to participate, so if you've got stronger relationships with anyone on the boards, please encourage their participation. |

Letting the winner bidder decide who gets the funds defeats the purpase of accumulating cards for charity. I BELIEVE the purpose is to do something good, but if the winning bidder wants to donate to "HILARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT" I'm going to be pissed. |

I think you can have the best of both worlds. Just assemble a list of "approved" charities (compiled form the numerous charities listed here in this thread and commonly agreed apon) and then allow the buyer to choose any combination of those charities listed as the benifactors. I have seen this done in several organizations in the past. |
