    St. Jude's Donation - SBR Point Match
    242 SBR Points (199 if you are Pro) donates $30 to St. Jude Children's Hospital (http://store.sbrforum.com/products/2...Judes-donation). For about $0.12 per SBR point ($0.15/point for Pros), this is by far the best value for your SBR Points. To encourage you to redeem your points towards this fine cause, I'll match all donations point-for-point until I'm out of points. Just make the donation and post a screen shot of the transaction. I'll do the same. Degenerate gamblers can help fight cancer too!

          I think you're supposed to buy it in the store and post a screenshot of the purchase here.

          I have a better idea, though.

          Link to the transaction. I'll buy one and be right back.

                  That's the way the SBR store does it. Just enter your address. It will get sent to the right place.

                        This is definitely a good cause, and will consider it after i get my set of coffee mugs.

                          I sent you the points Tom.I'd rather pay the rake then deal with the store.

                          If these guys ever took the time to check out St.Judes,there would be a shitload of donations matched or not.Been giving to those poor kids for years.

                              Thus far we've raised $180 in this thread. Keep 'em coming. I have enough points left to match two more donations.

                                What's wrong with the store? If you send rather than buy, that's 4 points or so that can't be used for a donation.

                                  All the posters Yisman,this is a great organization that helps these kids that have been dealt a bad hand in life.

                                    I don't think the reason they don't get more donations is because people don't like St. Jude's.

                                    It's because most people don't give to charity much.

                                    Tom, if you still have points to match with in a few days, I'll do another donation.

                                                Great idea SBR! My girlfriend's niece has ATRT, and she was given a 10% chance of living more than 6 months. That was a year and a half ago, and she is now a cancer free 2 year old. St. Jude's took her in at no cost (they don't charge a penny to the families), and she now has a 90% chance of living to be a teen, and even has a chance to live a completely "normal" life if she can fully recover now!

                                                This past Monday, Chili's gave 100% of their profits to St Jude. Needless to say, we racked up an EXTENSIVE ($1700 for 30 people) bar bill that night, and the bartenders and waitresses all offered up half of their tips that night as donations.

                                                St Jude really does bring out the best in people, and I am incredibly grateful for what you guys are doing. Simply amazing

                                                  This is a great thing you are doing Tom.Maybe 199 is too much for alot of posters.5,10,20 at a time adds up.You be the chair person for this and I will pay all the rake fees to you,just let the posters send the points to you directly.If this interest you,lets see how much can be raised by Christmas.

                                                    That's a good idea also. I'll accept any size transfer of points and will purchase the St. Jude donations as soon as it adds up to 199.

                                                          I'm out of points now so I can't match any further donations. Those who want to donate just a few points, transfer them to me and I'll donate them as soon as we reach 199.

                                                          Congrats everyone. Together we've raised $300 for St. Jude's
