In 2004 & 2005 AcuraZine raised over $3000 in a holiday charity competition. In 2006 we changed things up a bit, yet we managed to raise even more money totalling $5000!

In 2007 we challenged ourselves to better that total again, we managed to raise $6000, with all proceeds going to Child's Play Charity!

For 2008, a year that had shown us more ups & downs than any I can remember, it was even more important to think of those who were less fortunate. We DID make a difference! The challenge was met. You helped us raise over $6500! Our best total ever!

This was our most optimistic goal ever, in very challenging times, what an amazing display of pitching in to help others who needed it! All our proceeds were sent to Child's Play Charity!

For 2009, a year with arguably more ups & downs than last year, we are going to commit to making a difference once again! We challenge you to help us raise $6500 again! We feel that this is an achievable goal, that will put smiles on many children's faces this Holiday season.


Child's Play, who?

Established by gamers in 2003, Child's Play is becoming the childrens charity of choice across the internet. Unlike traditional charities, Child's Play passes 100% of their proceeds to participating childrens hospitals, keeping nothing for "administrative use".


Why Child's Play?

Instead of blindly collecting generic toys, Child's Play & their participating hospitals take the time to create individual wishlists for kids who will be stuck in sick beds this holiday season. Every cent we donate to Child's Play this year will be used to purchase a toy that a sick child wants. Every dollar we raise will be put to good use this year.

What's more, unlike with Toys for Tots, our donations will be spread to participating hospitals throughout the country. This means a child & a hospital near you will benefit from your donation. Your donation could very well end up as a toy in the hands of a child you know.

Through Child's Play, we're making a real impact!

How do I donate?

We accept donations through PayPal.

<div style="border:2px dotted #999;padding:20px;background-color:#fffde5">What's in it for me?

&raquo; Besides good karma, we will be sending out stickers again this year. Donate $20+ and receive a free pair of AcuraZine Stickers. We also may have a limited number of AcuraZine T-Shirts that will be given away to the highest donors!
&raquo; I have been speaking with our vendors as well, and they have some great prizes that can be won by lucky donors! I'm going to let them post their offers as responses, and then we'll add them to the list here!








&raquo; If you qualify for one of the prizes, or our offer of free stickers, you must fill out the following form: My Donation & Address info </div>

Don't forget to check out our 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008 campaigns.
Let's make this year the best ever!

We had issues with the address collection process last year. That said, there were many opportunities given over the last year for members to claim for stickers they didn't receive.

If you donate again this year, you'll see our process is much more streamlined and I can guarantee that everyone will receive their stickers in a very timely fashion.

There are plenty of charities to donate through work, especially trough CFC . I donated to get the stickers and was disappointed when I did not receive them, even after trying a couple of times .
