DECEMBER CHARITY APPEAL SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
It does just what it says on the topic heading.

A bit of a variation on some other ideas:
Every gad/fad won in december can either be claimed or a set amount (eg, 40 pounds for a gad, 20 for a fad, or it might be better to make them equal - say, 30) can be donated to the fund for a pre-determined charity. At the end of the month it's all either sent off as money, or used to buy sr products (maybe console and games, pc or whatever) (preferably at cost to sr, not retail so it's not like you're making a profit : ) ), and then sent to the charitable location.

I like the idea of winners giving their GAD and FAD prizes up for charity. Why not consider something like sick childrens hospitals. When I was young I spent quite a bit of time in hospital and you get bored in there very easy. Consoles or computers could make the christmas period a little bit more special for those who have to spend it in hospital.
How about not limiting it to one charity?
If a GAD winner chooses to give up their prize, they nominate a charity and SR give the price of the game to that charity?

Heh, thanks for the very kind comment, but many other people here are willing to give stuff to charity. Some of them more than me, I would reckon. But thanks anyway.

Or you cna treat each GAD win as £50 and if a GAD prize is like £30 then you can donate £20 to charity.
So minus GAD money from £50 if it is 99p + give it to charity :)

Ok lets be a bit odd here maybe not this year but how about setting up teh FOG development Crew many here can make games im filled with ideas myself, we can make a small fun not graphically amazing but addicitve game on here and the extra revenure that game will create (after all if more people go to your site more people will buy games) a percentage can go to charity, might need thinking through more but the idea is there.
How about, for every game traded in to your shops (for a specific console), you give it to the charity of your choice, whilst letting the person who traded the game to still buy something else at a discounted price?
how about choosing a thread, then for every reasonable reply donating 10p to children in need?
If there were more people like ant in the world, it would be a far better place.
