The wheels started in motion for 643 Helping out causes that meant a lot to our members when Chuck (All4Kines) asked that we auction off 17 of his teams in the Teeks643 11/12 Crown Royale Bonus Break and donate the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project. For those that do not know, Chuck is a U.S. Marine stationed in Japan (our 643 resident HERO!)

ALL teams won at auction also received a special gift sent out to them by the U.S. Marine Corps.

For more information on W.W.P. visit their website HERE

Watch the Break HERE

Summary of the Break:
* The teams sold in the Crown Royale break raised $106 for WWP
* Subterfuge (Mike) doubled his bids of $18.50 for the teams that he won
* Ty & Stef matched the $106 raised in the break
* FelixVictoria (Phyllis) won a free 643BoxBreaks.com T-shirt in the break, she graciously put it up for auction to raise even more money for WWP
* The T-Shirt sold to SigPa (Brian) for $27.50 and just when you thought the 643 Members couldn't get any more awesome - Brian asked that the shirt he bought be sent out to Japan for Chuck!

This all adds up to $258.00 raised for the Wounded Warrior Project. All4Kines (Chuck) also added an additional $42 to make it an even $300 donation from 643 to the Wounded Warrior Project!

In November 2012, 643 Member shandawg2k12 was raising money for Prostate Cancer and Men's Health.

Teeks643 and Shanedawg did a Fundraising head-to-head Box Break and a donation of $352.86 was made to Shane's Movember page raising money for Prostate Cancer!

I just wanted to pit on here how grate everyone is on here! I did a raffle fundraiser for kids with cancer, and buying all of them Christmas presents to cheer them up and take some of the financial stress off the parents. The breakers and the regulars on 643 were awesome and helped me make the fundraiser a success! Thanks once again everyone.

The second Ca$h 4 Nash and Carstar Walk to Make Cystic Fibrosis History Box Break was a huge success!

The amazing Breakers & Members at 643 raised a whopping
$2680.05 to help Team Ca$h 4 Nash place 3rd in all of Calgary!

Bluenoze87 wrote:This charity is very close to my heart as my 4.5 year old son Nash was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was 16 days old and although he has been doing amazing due to the research and advancements in treatments he still has a lot to go through on a daily basis. He takes 20+ pills a day, has to have an hour of physiotherapy everyday to help clear his lungs and airways. He is also very susceptible to germs as the stickiness of the mucus in his lungs holds onto every little germ and bacteria so we have to be very careful. He is one strong boy and I thank you for your support as this helps to make my son's life easier, longer and more enjoyable!

All product, cards, bonuses, etc. were donated by our great breaking team and management allowing all funds raised to go 100% to the charity!

This year we did a 3-way box battle between Subterfuge-Eldonko-Bluenoze87 with 3 boxes of 15-16 Showcase. The way the box battle worked is we auctioned off 3 boxes of the same product on 3 consecutive nights and then broke them all live on the final night, those live in the Breakers.tv chat determined the best box, second place box and last. Each team will received a bonus box as a prize and kept the teams they had in those boxes for the prize box breaks.


PRIZES:
1st Place - The team owners on the first place team will keep those teams for a break of 2015-16 UD Series 1, donated by Teeks + a box of 2013-14 Totally Certified donated by Subterfuge!

2nd Place - The team owners on the second place team will keep those teams for a break of 2015-16 UD Series 2, donated by Teeks!

3rd Place - The team owners on the third place team will keep those teams for a break of 2011-12 Panini Titanium, donated by Bluenoze87!

Hit Draft Cards:

In November of 2015, we lost our good friend Bill to a battle with cancer.

At that time, we reached out to Bill's family to see if there is any way that we could help, as Bill meant a lot to us and we wanted to do something to honour his memory.

Bill's mom made us aware of a scholarship fund at the New England College, where Bill attended. As friends of Bill, we would like to honour his memory by making a contribution to this scholarship program.


We Raised $1,600.00 For Bill's Scholarship Fund!
This Amount was MATCHED by the New England College Alumni
for a grand total of $3,200.00 raised!
