For the second year in a row, the college football fans of r/CFB set aside their team rivalries in the holiday spirit of giving lots (and lots) of toys to kids in need.

Last week, more than 140 members of the community answered an open call for donations to the Toys for Tots charity, raising a total of $6,250 in just seven days.

In an epic post about the toy drive, r/CFB moderator Bobak Ha’Eri—a 37-year-old attorney and adjunct law professor who goes by u/Honestly_ on Reddit—notes that the donations came from redditors representing 61 schools all across the country.

The best part, of course, wasn’t simply that redditors donated money; users from the community who lived near the Twin Cities also braved the cold to meet up in person and pick out the toys themselves.

“Some of them had car problems in the morning,” Ha’Eri shares in an e-mail. “One guy’s car didn’t start so he borrowed one to make it—how awesome is that?”

Fellow r/CFB members u/astoesz, u/nterim, u/TroyBarnesBrain, and u/wacojohnny gathered in the Toys ‘R’ Us parking lot, shivering through the -21 degree Fahrenheit weather to huddle with Ha’Eri, who was, per r/CFB tradition, dressed as his annual philanthropic alter ego “Raoul Claus.”

“We did a quick pep talk at the beginning where we discussed the strategies,” Ha’Eri says, “… then we all hit the aisles on our own.”

Led by their fearless moderator, the group divided and conquered their shopping list, targeting their efforts on finding toys for infants and teenagers.

“Before we did the event last year,” Ha’Eri explains, “I read an article about Toys For Tots that said [they] were always short of toys for infants/toddlers (0-3) and toys for the teens (13-15). … This year we decided to focus more of our purchases at those two demographics.”

Altogether, the team filled 13 shopping carts, ringing up a grand total of $6,035.56 worth of toys, with the remaining funds (partly the result of a generous store manager who discounted their bill by an extra 10%) accompanying these presents as a monetary donation to the charity.

The final receipt was, to put it mildly, ginormous.

Forming a caravan behind Ha’Eri’s sedan, the crew then hauled all of the toys to the Twin Cities Toys for Tots warehouse where the Marines were waiting to receive them.

“The Marines were all as nice as last year,” Ha’Eri writes, “and when we asked for a photo they suggested in front of the big pile (which was shorter than earlier in the day); we decided to hold the long receipts.”

The successful donation drive marks the latest of many fundraising efforts from the members of r/CFB, which u/BlueBoyBob founded eight years ago and has since grown to over 220,000 members.

In 2014, moderators led a community-wide ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that raised over $8,000 in donations, and the following year r/CFB sponsored an Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach at Louisiana Tech.

“We originally started doing fund drives to buy memorial bricks at various stadiums and campuses … and then choosing a designated charity for whatever was left over,” Ha’Eri explains.

“The choice of Toys For Tots came as a group decision of the /r/CFB mod team.”

The success of the community’s latest holiday drive is already inspiring redditors to think of ways to top their efforts next year.

When reflecting on why the college football fans on Reddit come together year after year to support these charitable causes, Ha’Eri says, “There are so many good people out there: over 140 people donated to this drive. This is what makes Reddit a great place, and we’re honored to be mods of the /r/CFB community.”
