Welcome to the Misc Repathon! Donate relief aid to Japan for admin reps!

REPATHON IS CLOSED! Thank you for everyone who donated. Unofficial total right now is close to $11,000!!! Reps are still on their way, please be patient!

Here's the deal:

If you donate a minimum of $5 to any relief organization and can post documented proof (images, email receipts, etc) I will rep you with my massive rep power for your contribution. If you donate over $50 I will double rep you (2x). You must show proof that you have donated. If I find out anyone is faking or cheating for this contest they could be negged and potentially banned, so don't even think about it.

Who you can donate to:

American Red Cross: Text "redcross" to 90999 to make an instant $10 donation via your cell phone and it will show up on your phone bill. You can also donate through their website using any major credit card or Amazon Payments. You can also donate via PayPal
International Medical Corps: Text "med" to 80888 for an instant $10 donation via your cell phone. You can donate through their website using a credit card.
Global Giving: Using their website you can donate using credit cards, PayPal, online checks (if you have a checking account it will wire it from your bank), and even gift cards. Minimum donation is $25.
Save the Children, Hands On Network, Redcross, etc via Paypal: Paypal has setup a website where you can immediately donate money to one of the many charities available providing relief to Japan. They will exclude their normal fees for their donation so 100% of the money gets to the organization.

There are many others available that you can donate to like UNICEF or Doctors without Borders, so the above list is just an example of some ways to donate, even if you don't have a credit card. However, please check and make sure you are donating to a legitimate organization. I've gotten a report that a user was soliciting donations for Japan via PM on a fake website. So, here are a couple helpful links.

What this thread is not for

Keep this thread clean of news about the disaster, your opinion of it, your opinion of Japan, etc. Post that somewhere else. If you aren't interested in donating, that's fine, just post somewhere else. Random crap posted in here will be deleted and this thread will be stuck shortly. A list of the people who have donated will be amended to this first post along with the amount donated and we'll keep a tally of how we're doing. If anyone has any suggestions for other places to donate or additional ways to help if you can't help monetarily can be posted and I will look into them.

I need proof that you have donated, so some type of screen shot or picture of your phone will work. Just save it and attach it here or send it to ImageShack, TinyPic or wherever. If it has personal information in it that you don't want to be seen, just send me an email with the image attached or forwarded copy of the email receipt you received to red-japan.pogue25@spamgourmet.com along with your username on the forum and a link to your post and/or the page its on (make two posts if you donate $50 or above). Post a reply in here letting me know you've emailed me, and I'll rep you for it. IF YOU EMAIL ME: Please include a link to your post in THIS thread (two if you donated $50 or more) along with your username

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them, but they might end up getting deleted later on just for the sake of keeping this thread clean.

Thanks,
pogue

**thatashguy** · 03-13-2011, 04:08 AM

legit question- what happens if we donate $5 multiple times and keep posting the proof?

**jthm** · 03-13-2011, 04:08 AM

I would like to donate, although I am highly skeptical of organizations. Can someone recommend which I donate through?

**Dlu69** · 03-13-2011, 04:10 AM

Donated

**stimjunkie** · 03-13-2011, 04:10 AM

Interesting - placeholder for when I donate

**Tyrbolift** · 03-13-2011, 04:12 AM

Red Cross was there when I needed them in a much smaller natural disaster than the current one. Good people--GREAT organization that puts their money where other people's hungry mouths are.

Post it here please. Or my email is included in the first link if you want to use that method.

I'm only going to rep once per person, unless the donation is above $50 you'll get double repped.
