While I think this is a noble gesture on everyones part, I don't believe it's very fair to the other entrants, especially the kids. I'm sending money. Seeings that all these votes are illegal anyway, it will probably be contested. See the rules:

A guy asks for votes in a contest and offers to donate any potential winngs to a charitable cause. I see no violation of the rules here and certainly don't see anything illegal.
Best of luck and may God bless for your unselfish act Bowhunter2117!!!
