RB Charity 2017 Recipient Poll

[Anapan]

Terry Fox foundation
I ran every year in school. This charity allocates more than any other Canadian charity to cancer research out of it's donations.
Riley Children's Hospital
This hospital was pivotal in the life of the son of a member here.
Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
This charity was responsible for all of my cats except one. Fuchikoma MK 5 approves - she'd be dead.
Food Fortification Initiative
I really want to taste golden rice.
Forum Member or family
Unsure if any member here is in trouble; If anyone knows of someone here that needs help, let me know the details- We love all of our members.

I've only watched a few of these, but their cause is always far better thought out than I have put into this poll; Also the gaming celebs (some are patreons of mine) are all too cool.

The Racketboy Charity Auction has been a tradition since I joined around 2009. It has been a tradition to donate our duplicate or unloved gaming/electronic wares to try to raise funds to benefit an elected charity. It has also been a place where the more artistic of us have created incredible works of art for the cause (I only drink the best of alcohols from my Rackeyboy glass-etched tumbler). I would like to keep the tradition alive because I have always enjoyed the camaraderie that comes from a community joined in a cause, and at the same time competing to win some cool gear at a bargain. IMO this is the epitome of the community here, and I hope as many of you participate as we have had in previous years. Let's strive for over 15 pages of bidding! I have some cool but unloved gear again this year. Some of my best gaming trophies came from community members like you.

Votes are changeable, and two votes are considered per user. If you're unsure, listen to members to help decide where and why the winnings are awarded.

I think we're gonna have to do a pick 2. If there isn't an eligible forum member and that category wins, for example, we'll want a good second place.

Agreed

I made it a "pick 2" poll. Sorry to step on your toes, Anapan, but I think that's the best way to proceed.

I would also like to propose an addition: an RB lump-sum Games Done Quick donation. It would go to a good charity cause and would also get the RacketBoy name back out there in a major event. Help people AND advertise!

I absolutely back this idea.

Done. Glad to see this return year after year. I will find some stuff to add to the mix, and be bidding as well.

I'm continuing to take donations via PM, or publicly.

Should I start a donation drive topic?

I'll be posting the official bidding topic on or around the 28th (depending on your time zone), and bidding will be officially live on the first of December. Stop time has not been established. Any thoughts?
I plan to keep adding any additional items until the last 5 days of the auction, both to maximize donations (I'll be attempting to refurbish and test devices) and to allow latecomers to participate.
