JUST AN IDEA FOR Y'ALL: AN ORG CHARITY EFFORT?

Please dont just view this thread!! At least post a simple yes or no!

I was just thinking (And don't call me stupid. At least in public) with the whole Secret Santa thing: Wouldn't it also be great if we all somehow pitched in to give away some gift to charity on behalf of the org community? Maybe sometime next year.

I don't know the logistics or to whom yet. Perhaps we could decide via some voting mechanism, and then have a very trustworthy, responsible orger (maybe a moderator) collect the funds and see to it that the gift is presented in our name. OR we could all individually bombard a decided-upon charity with individual donations in the name of the org. Even if what we each contributed was miniscule, it could greatly add up! They'd be SO shocked and grateful!

It'd take some work, but I think it'd be so cool to do something like this. And while we'd have to make it SUPREMELY clear our efforts have zero to do with Prince in any way, it may actually do his legacy some good to have a body of his fans come together and do charitable things for no reason other than feeling kind.

Is that a dumb idea? hmmm

I like it - great idea. It's always fun being part of a community, and it's even more fun being part of a community that's making a difference for someone.
