I know I run the risk of looking like a selfish ass with anything that appears to oppose charity but....
This is a noble effort, but this type of thing starts becoming a "political" issue and I would really rather not see something like this become part of our regular game. I'm also not crazy about a permanent rake, even if it would be going to a good cause.
Here's what I would suggest regarding this type of effort:
Set up a voluntary donation jar that people could chip into if they wanted to. "Forced" donations are not something I would participate in even if I was inclined to want to donate to that cause.
If you wanted to run a specific event for the purpose of raising some money for a specific charity, that's your right as a host. I regularly participate in charity events (Motorcycle Toy Runs) and I have no problem with the once in a while concept. But if I had to donate to charity everytime I got on my bike, it would really ruin the fun of riding.
