Hi!

I'm currently raising funds for the Children's Miracle Network of hospitals through an event called Extra Life (specifically the Johns Hopkins Children's Center in honor of Oriole's superfan Mo Gaba).

I was wondering if it is okay to post details regarding my fundraiser and possibly do a giveaway for anyone on TCDB who donates?

I wasn't sure if it was against the rules or not.

For the giveaway, I'm anticipating something where every $5 donated would be an entry into a raffle & I would give away some decent cards.

If it's not allowed, no big deal. I just wanted to ask first.

Thanks!

Asking Admin would be the best course of action.

Actually, it's covered in the FAQ:

https://www.tcdb.com/FAQ.cfm?ITEM=Forum#5

• Are giveaways allowed on the forum?
  • Yes, giveaways are allowed on the forum within certain guidelines. Participation should be free for the members. Giveaways can be in the form of a contest or game, but requiring payment to participate or any "raffle" type of events are not allowed.

I am not sure if Admin will let you do that, but a raffle would be really fun!

Yeah, it doesn't sound like it would fly, even though I'm technically not charging anything. I'll try & do it offline and hope there's some interest.

It will actually be easier for me to just sell the cards I'd giveaway and donate the proceeds that way.

I appreciate the feedback!

If you didn't require a donation to participate in the giveaway it might be acceptable.  But, as always, lay out the details to Admin and see what they say.

I tried this with a giveaway/raffle.. Admin discussion was to run it in a different online site and just let members here know about it through a link to that site.
