    Attn JJGOLD AND SHARI
    I need your help

    I would like SBR to add an option for donations

    Maybe for just one month out of the year, say February

    Add an option to donate direcly to a family or families, and then we can see pics of the families and kids and get updates about them

    I ask you two because I know child welfare weighs heavily on both of your hearts as it does mine. I just think it would be a nice bit of contrast to the forum, something that could bring us all together for a noble cause and then selfishlywe could get an update maybe in June or July. And although we already have two fantastic and worthy causes to support, I think this one would be a bit more personal.

    Or is there a chance we could adopt an angelman kid for a month or a year?

    If you support something of this nature, please say so, that way sbr can gauge interest. If not, also say so, and offer an idea if you have one.

    Thanks

      Thats a great idea Harry. Anything where we could see pics of the family, just something more personal than "heres 400 points in exchange for $30" that goes to a non profit group and maybe $5 of that original $30 makes it downstream to the families or kids.

      We have a chance here to do something really cool that is also a bit contrarian to what people would expect to find here.

                This won't end well. Barrelled in posters posting pics with random, disheveled kids, writing sob stories so they can get back in the game.

                  Sounds good...but who's actually going to manage all this? Not as easy as it seems. Especially not for a company based out of CR.

                              We adopted three families this year at work, went through the ymca.

                              There shouldn't be much to it Opie, Im thinking just find a group like the Y that is already set up where people can adopt a kid or family, posters donate points, and Johhny cuts the check. Then we get an update with pics so after our bad beats, we can all feel warm and cuddly inside.

                              I'll set it up

                                Im not advocating for us to receive applications and choose a fam, just contact the ymca and tell them we're adopting 3 black families and we'll cut em a check on march 1st, and that the cheque is coming from CR and will probably clear

                                        "Will probably clear" made me lol.

                                        I'd donate to this cause as well as long as it was on the up and up. Another way to do it though if sbr isn't able to set this up, would be to buy target gift cards and give them to the families in need. You would have to trust the poster buying them that they would do that and wouldn't necessarily get pics and all that but i considered something similar when I have done the charity drive on here a few times. Could make video of handing the gc out or taking the kids to target and letting them pick a few things or whatever.

                                        Just another idea if op can't get it set up through sbr.

                                          This ain't happening thru SBR. Would be a complete fukkin bureaucratic nightmare.

                                          Krak....here's what you do...go out and buy some fukkin happy meals, and give it to any of 10s of thousands of aids ridden people that are within a block of your libtard ass in Seattle right now. Place is full of them.

                                            The gift card idea would be the best way ^^^^

                                            I've tried to float variations of this before because yes Kraken, you obviously know why I'd want to be involved in this.

                                            However there is so much red tape around these donations as it is that it's friggen ridiculous. Many don't want to deal with us because of omfg gambling. Then others because they can't facilitate overseas donations. Then they can't suss out how to funnel donations from certain people to a certain account so we can get verification that our posters have donated. It's honestly a bloody nightmare. And then we've had posters claim cancer, death, whatever to raise money for their fukkin family members and babies which turned out to be scams. Please forgive me if I'm not buying shit anymore from degens ffs
                                            Send Lou something where the org already has proper $ receiving capabilities, has no issue being involved with a sportsbook forum and won't cause grief with a gazillion other things if at all. Lou will suss it out xo

                                                  Krackles just go make a donation yourself in Seattle

                                                  Opie is one cocky son of a bitch on the phone you should've heard him talking to SBR administration

                                                  He even told Sherry on the call to wait your turn and you were speaking out of line

                                                        I would like kraken to be given permission to post the PMs I sent him... lol





                                                        if SBR was serious they should contact Hillary Clinton about setting up a "non-profit" "charity." That way they could pocket the majority of the money and still help a few families so suckers like kraken will think it's actually working.

                                                          This is a beautiful charity. I'll make sure it's seen by those who need to. Fingers crossed we can work with them but again please don't hold your breath. Apparently we're like the scabs of society even though SBR posters have always been the most generous beasts I've ever seen xo
