Just watched an absolutely heart-wrenching story on CNN from Haiti and it left me terribly shaken. Having texted and made the $10 donation that has been suggested all over the news, I want to try to get at least a couple more people to do so as the situation looks dire down there.
So, here are 2 items I will send to the first 2 people who simply post that they will make a similar contribution - I don't need proof, just your word and the item is yours. I wish I had more items to offer, but every dollar really matters to those people.
Please post which item you want (first come, first served), promise to make a donation, and then e-mail me and I'll mail it out.

Not a baseball collector, but I just want to say how commendable it is that you would give 2 items for people who will donate. I will be sure to donate! Where can I make the donation?

Thanks Brad!! I appreciate it so much. I sent you an e-mail.
Also my donation has already been sent.
I'm glad to see so many people around the world instantly helping Haiti out. From what I remember learning in high school, Haiti is one of the poorest countries, so they really need the help.

Straight from www.whitehouse.gov :
Donate $10 to the Red Cross to be charged to your cell phone bill by texting "HAITI" to "90999."

Also eBay has made it easy to contribute to the Red Cross and others for Haiti relief. I listed some Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods UDA items along with some Washington Nationals items.
If it is an item that someone wants, then everyone wins.

Great idea, I have a friend from there and it is a really bad situation. It makes you appreciate loved ones and everyday things we take for granted.
