The forums have historically been interested in contributing and expressing empathy. This year, I'd like to try something a little experimental and encourage everyone to chip in to charities. The ones I have selected are highly rated and represent causes somewhat relevant to what we talk about.
While supporting a charity is a reward in and of itself, I am offering rewards to be claimed by anyone who donated $10 or more per charity. To claim this, you have two options:
Autism Research Institute
( Note: The dead founder of this was an anti-vaccer, but the charity itself seems to be objective. )
"Rates of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis in children are rapidly increasing to epidemic proportions, and are expected to continue to rise. Families and communities struggle to understand, and to cope with this challenge. While causes of ASD remain unclear, recent scientific advances challenge the traditional view of autism as an untreatable disease—as one that is “genetically hard-wired.” These developments support the position that Autism Research Institute (ARI) has always maintained: Autism Is Treatable. Established in 1967 by psychologist and renowned father of modern autism research Dr. Bernard Rimland, ARI continues to pioneer in research, outreach, and cooperative efforts with other organizations worldwide. ARI advocates for the rights of people with ASD, and operates without funding from special-interest groups."
Reward Kit A
Forum trophy, rating unique to the Chris boards exclusive to donators.
Semper Fi Fund
"The Semper Fi Fund, and its program America’s Fund, provide immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to post 9/11 wounded, critically ill and injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families, ensuring that they have the resources they need during their recovery and transition back to their communities. Since establishing the Semper Fi Fund in 2004, we've issued more than 79,500 grants, totaling more than $98 million in assistance to over 12,600 of our heroes and their families."
Reward Kit B
Forum trophy, rating unique to the Jace boards exclusive to donators.
Keep in mind the following, please:
This event ends December 12th.
Donators
While supporting a charity is a reward in and of itself, I am offering rewards to be claimed by anyone who donated $10 or more per charity. To claim this, you have two options:
- Convenience: Use the Account Upgrade page and send $10 through PayPal. This includes your user name and will automatically mark you as a contributor. You cannot claim this as a tax deduction in this method. Any money that PayPal takes I will make up for everyone in the final contribution.
- Practical: Send $10 or more on your own terms to any charity you want. Then, send a private message to me with a receipt and what kit you want.

If anyone is interested in helping out locally in your community, animal shelters always need more supplies (even just a single bag of food will help), and if you want to help troops, there is usually a military family in every community making care packages for the holidays.
