It's that time of year again, OAFE-fans, when you need to remember that not everybody is as lucky as you. Not that you need any incentive to give, since you're a great person, but this year if you give to Toys for Tots, you can win cool stuff for yourself, as well, thanks to our friends over at Geeks for Tots:

- Send proof of an online cash donation to the Toys For Tots website (they send an email receipt that can be forwarded).
Both entries should go to geeksfortots@gmail.com. Please include "Geeks for Tots Entry" in the subject line.
