I had the idea of donating a portion of my winnings one day a month. So, on the first Monday of every month I will be donating 20% of whatever I win that day in poker to some charitable organization. Since I don't have any particularly strong feelings towards any one charity, I will let you all pick the charity I donate to every month. Just post a charity that you like with a link to their website and I will chose one the weekend before the first Monday of the month.
I typically play 5/10 and a normal swing would be in the $1k-$2k range, although I have had as much as $8k swings in these games. After my session I will post my results and a screenshot of my receipt to the charity of your choosing. If I have a losing session, nothing will be donated, but on the next month's Monday I will donate 5% more. So if I lose on the 1st Monday in June, I will donate 25% on July's first Monday. And if I lose again, I'll donate 30% of my August winnings. I will start doing this on Monday, June 4th. If for some reason I can't play on the 1st Monday of the month, I will do this for the next session I play.
I would love for this to catch on in the poker community, so feel free to join me, even if you want to donate a smaller percentage of your winnings like 5%.
Go ahead and nominate a charity
