[QUOTE="Matt, post: 162943, member: 1"] Matt, I hate the fact that you came out of pocket to cover the PHX DO. I had an idea for a fundraiser for DO Part 3. Many of us have lounge passes, free night certs, upgrades, drink coupons, BOGO's, etc laying around in kitchen junk drawers or sitting in accounts that we may or may not ever use. I know I probably let several items expire in the last year. What if everyone brought all of these items to the DO and we did a silent or electronic auction over the course of the weekend? All proceeds go to funding the DO, and any excess goes to the charity of your choice? We could set up a DO redbird or Paypal account and everyone could pay electronically to that e-mail address. I could donate- 1 free IGH night 20,000 Avios 2 Alaska Lounge passes Guided 1 day stream smallmouth fishing trip in Nashville Other considerations- 1. Is this legal? 2. Any tax implications?[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] That's a cool idea - thanks. In terms of tax implications if you donated to the "DO" which in turn donated excess to charity you'd not be able to claim a deduction as the DO and Saverocity isn't a charity, but Saverocity/I could claim a deduction if structured correctly. Not sure that we'll run with it, but very kind of you to think of it.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
