Acurazine's 2009 Holiday Charity Drive
-
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.

just letting u know, for my fraternity since we are a non profit organization and donate to ronald mcdonald charity and such we get a zero tax bracket. I am just saying this because pay-pal should waive their fees if u didn't know. If you did great, and I will donate soon.

You can use a credit card if it's tied to your Paypal account. As far as pics. I haven't seen any except the white one's. I imagine they are the same style but different color.
