In again this year. Thanks for doing this, Cheapy!

Is these donations tax deductible?

I believe so, yes. I think there was something you could print out, cause it is donated to a charity, not someone else to give to the charity. Then again you really have to donate enough to really write off, most of us probably can't do that, but who knows.

Fingers crossed for Amazon gc!! Also shared to fb, you all should do that to help the charity get money. And I'd like to plug LivingSocial because if they still have the deal up it was a $5.00 donation to Toys for Tots I believe, and toy stores, etc are matching the donations to $250,000 I believe and also donating toys.

No, they are not, because you are participating in a raffle (IRS Publication 526 Charitable Contributions). However, if that is important to you - you can contribute directly to Child's Play and that should be tax deductible.

I'm in. Go CAG!

1st time donation here. Glad to be apart of something special.

In for a donation of $5.

Filled in the donation price for the OP, hopefully everyone will enjoy it I'll post what it is as soon as cheapy added it to the OP

Chipped in $5 dollars to this great cause, will donate more this month when i get my bills in order!!

Donated a little, hopefully I can do more before it ends thanks for doing this as always CAG.

An unexpected Christmas bonus means I put my CAG Child's Play in early this year.

Donated...good luck all!

Just donated $10, hopefully I can donate more later this month.

this would be my first time donating and I was just wondering something. If I wanted to donate a prize for the raffle, do I send the prize directly to the winner or do you send it to CAG and they figure out the rest? I know you send them an email and whatnot to get on the prize list, but just wondering how the process goes. ^_^

This is really an awesome raffle for a great cause.

I'm in. Good luck to all and congrats on being awesome for helping out a great charity!

I've donated the last few years and it's always been to contact the winner through a PM on the site and work out the details - in other words, you ship to the winner.

I'm sure if something has changed, I'll be corrected

Just put in my donation, lets all try to beat last year!!

Kicked in $50 (doubled last year's donation), not working right now (thanks to a car accident!) but have been blessed in abundance with the settlement on my car & in other ways. I'll see if I can chip in some more later as my finances balance out...

My mom works at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston(one of the receipients of Child's Play's generosity) and tells me stories of the kids that are happy to play a PS3 or Xbox while recovering from some pretty horrific things...

I just dropped $20, but I'll certainly donate more before the season is over.
