You are not actually getting anything, just the honour of nominating a Charity and of course, all the help you need from the forum

There are many Cancer charities, maybe you would like to be more specific.

Once again Thank you for our members help in reaching our milestone of 20k members, although however, we are actually 24,647 members strong.

Donate to charity.

Edit: Too late, but it's nice that you gave the money to charity
