2023 Charity Update Announcement:
Rather than split among multiple prior or new event charities, this year we are making the entire donation event charitable donation to
RIP Medical Debt (https://ripmedicaldebt.org/).
Listen to this New Yorker
podcast on the approach to leverage donations to buy out bulk medical debt for pennies on the dollar, a fitting way for us who benefit so much from the US financial system to help people harmed by it and the healthcare system. Their approach fits the value maximization ethos of the points travel mindset. (

Challenge Donation:
I am covering the credit card processing fees of the first $50,000 in event donations.
Charity Raffle Items:

We are not doing physical items. Passing around amenity kits no one wants is not a good use of time. We will accept items such as relevant services or virtual gifts.
