I will let the SportsHoopla Board guess the Canucks Player that will score the Game Winning (and Series Winning) Goal Tuesday Night.

I will then take that players number and times it by 10 and donate that value to the Charity of choice (has to be a registered Charity) of that poster that gets the game winning pick. e.g. if Andrew Alberts scores the Game Winner I will donate $411 to that charity of choice.

Should the Canucks lose. I will still donate $100 to the Canuck Place Charity that I donate too monthly. so that way its no lose for Charity.

Rules:
That being said as each poster makes a pick there can be no duplicates. so if more than one person takes Ryan Kesler. I will only make one donation of that players jersey number X 10 value. and I will donate to the posters charity that posted the name First (if its a tie at the exact same time of post I will split the donation to both posters charities)

I will donate a minimum $100 to that persons Charity if the value is under $100 (e.g. Bieksa scores and its #3 x 10 for $30, I will still donate $100)


Make your Picks. Help your Charity today........ I would love this to be a sticky.

The charity is the Mario Lemieux foundation by way of my Beard-a-Thon account.

Also, this is a really cool idea.

You mean I can't use 'The Human Fund'?

Alex Edler is my pick, matt and I'll go with Canuck Place as my charity.

Mattola, you're a good man, Charlie Brown.
Alex Mogilny #89. :D


no wait... Burrows bumped a funk, he's got to keep that going.
Canucks Place is a fine choice.

matt, I'll having a pretty good year career-wise, I've decided to match your donation. I wonder if #96 Pavel Bure can dress for tomorrow night's game.

Great idea, and kuddos to mattola for wedging philanthropy into to the hockey playoffs. Can't imagine this ever happening in an NBA thread. Seriously... way to go mattola!!!

Great idea Mattola. Kudos to you. I have to go with Kesler and the Make A Wish Foundation.

Good luck and enjoy the game.

This is a phenominal thing that youre doing, I'm not gonna pick a player on principle but it would make it less sad if the Canuck player with the highest number scored the winner.

Global Spectrum Charities, I think. I dont know too much about them so if they dont work or if this is too vague go with Red Cross.

Great idea man.

Luongo will hit an empty net to take a two goal lead. Hawks score one more before the buzzer to make Luo's the game winner.

You can make the check out to WEAVE.
