Post Championship NIL Fundraiser

[temery]

Let's do our best to take care of our players, and help a good cause.

I was supposed to set this up the week before the tournament, but I forgot.

Ben Renshaw (@Huuuusky) sent me the info on how to donate so they can keep track of how we (the boneyard) are doing.

Not needed, but it'll help if you type "Boneyard" (no quotes) where it says "Write a Note (Optional)." The only people who will know who donated is the charity and the donor.

About the cause (other than benefiting players):

Bleeding Blue for Good – this is a non-profit donor funded collective that raises funds to compensate athletes who provide services and/or their name, image and likeness to charitable causes (with a focus on community-based charities primarily in Connecticut). Please see https://bleedingblueforgood.org for additional info as well as a link to donate.

Qualifies for employer matching.

90% of money goes to the player.

Donated but didn’t see an option to write a note. If @Huuuusky wants to add $25 to our total, I hope that works.

As it’s a non profit I’m assuming it also qualifies for company matches if our employer does them?

Great question. @Huuuusky should know the answer.

Donations are tax deductible, but they do ask those donating more than $1,000 to email them at info@bleedingblueforgood.org. My guess is they'll send you a letter for tax purposes.

Not really needed, but it's at the top of the page. It'd be nice to know so we can try to do a little better every year.

Done, great cause

How about pinning this?

Will do soon. Pinned threads are pretty much invisible to most people. Letting the thread rise whenever there is a reply is best for at least a day or two.

How can we keep this up top? It keeps falling off the table. It's important.

I checked. 90% of money goes to the player.

'I checked. Yes on matching. It's a 501c3 charity.
