[I]First off, sorry if this is a repost but it's for charity so maybe the facepunch gods will let me off *winces in anticipation*[/I]
Team Fortress 2 Mix-up group raising money for [URL="http://childsplaycharity.org"]Child's Play Charity[/URL]. They give video games to sick kids who've spent way too long in hospital. The kids get to escape in the best way we know how. They can play with their parents and friends, passing away the hours and forgetting, for a while, where they are. I wish this international charity had existed years ago but I'm happy it does now.
The way we're going about this: asking for donations on the site [URL]http://tf2mixup.com[/URL] Anyone who donates will get their names put in a virtual hat attached to a virtual animal who's size is dependant on the size of the donation they've made. We'll reach in on April 1st and grab three animals and those guys will get signed merch and play in the match along side [B]Freddie Wong[/B], [B]Notch[/B], [B]Robin Walker[/B], Yogscast... (it's a very long and very cool list and I'm really jealous as I can't enter myself) Full details of who's playing are on the site.
This is the start of the last week that donations get attached to animals so we're asking everyone to dig deep one more time. Don't be put off by the amount raised so far, someone really wanted to play so they dumped a Tyrannosaurus Rex in there; most of the donations are between a gerbil and a common house cat.
If you've still no idea what I'm on about the site also shows videos and interviews from past events. Such as this one:

PS. Sorry for the animal donating metaphor, it's hard to think of a way to explain it and "raffle" is too village faire.
Pretty cool.
I would feel pretty lame spending money so i could hang out with celebritys. But to each his own.
TF2 Subsection.
