We're speechless, finally. Thank you for playing.
If you're new to New AP, stick around, and learn more about the lives you're helping to build.
And until next year, may every day be a Saturday for you.
Let it be known that the (totally, seriously final)
@edsbs
2018 Charity Bowl giving total is $69,069.69 - we couldn't let the donors miss a perfectly good chance for all the lulz
We’re so grateful for the
@edsbs
community for supporting us year-round! We have loved seeing your donations roll in after college football rivalry weekend!
💥💥💥FOLKS💥💥💥
We're closer to RAISING A MILLION DOLLARS IN FIVE DAYS than we ever thought humanly possible
To honor your efforts (and to see if we can run up the score), we're not going to shut things down just yet.
We don’t even know where to begin, so we'll just say THANK YOU!! The EDSBS Charity Bowl brought in over $900,000 in 6 days, breaking all previous fundraising records. We’re still adding up all of the last minute, matching & recurring gifts, so the grand total will be even more!
Hello! You'd probably like a final
#CharitibundiBowl
scoring update, wouldn't you?
Sit tight – we're tightening the bolts on our math and will have boards out shortly.
🌠Donors named "Matt" currently account for $12,119, which puts them solidly in 3rd place behind Michigan and doubling up 4th place (Washington & Lee)
These 37 unique Matts represent 5% of all donors and 7% of all donations

Taking the Twitter outage as a sign that it's just about closing time for the 2021 EDSBS Charity Bowl.
Here's one final leaderboard, your first look at the top 50 donating teams.
But stick around ... we're adding a bonus round. Details to follow. 😉
#CharitibundiBowl
And with that! It's time for us to pack up and get out of New AP's way for the next 50 weeks, and let them do the real work.
Good night, moon. Good night, Michigan. Good night, Matts and un-Matts. We'll see y'all next spring.
Now, you may say this isn't a surprising leaderboard, not with Michigan in a commanding lead and Georgia Tech taking up so much space behind them.
But did you see the bottom of the top 20? Texas is beating Maryland! They don't get to do that in football! Nice!
#charitibundibowl
CHARITY BOWL SUBPLOT: Today has seen a spike Ohio State fans donating on behalf of Georgia Tech … to which Michigan fans have responded by donating to Purdue. 😵
CHARITY BOWL ACHIEVEMENT IN SHEER PETTINESS UPDATE: A round of applause to the donors from Texas and Oklahoma State who wrote in specifically to donate, respectively, one dollar and one cent more than the highest donors from A&M and Oklahoma.
💥 Operating as M A&T University, Matts would take third place on the final

Well. It took four days this time, but returning players in the EDSBS Charity Bowl will know this sensation well: Y'all finally broke our spreadsheets.
With apologies for the delay, your Day 4

Greetings,
#CharitibundiBowl
friends! It boggles our collective brains to report that we're well past halfway to our initial goal of $500,000 after just one day of your physical, multiple, aggressive generosity
Now for the fun part ... who wants some leaderboards??
#EDSBSCharityBowl
update: With a heavy heart, we must report that Michigan and Georgia Tech are At It Again.
Just shy of the 2-hour mark, our first monster donation put the Yellow Jackets ahead of the Wolverines:
GT: $8136.61
UM: $948.16

Thank you for playing along in this week's 2022 EDSBS

, benefitting New American Pathways' work with refugees in Georgia.
The donation total has grown every year in the game's decade-plus history.
Coming into this year's Bowl, we had no idea what to expect.
🌠If consolidated into the currently imaginary M A&T University, Matts would place third in the 2023
#CharitibundiBowl
BY THEMSELVES, beating Penn State by $5k, and only $9k out of second place (TAMU).
🌠This consolidation would also remove three entire schools from the board.
This is somewhat misleading! Michigan has one or two big-money donors, but they win this game year after year by having MORE donors in the $20 range than any other school, by far. A true team effort.
#GoBlue
Jeezuz.sometimes I forget how much big donor money is there at UMich.
Ags... we have a whole thing dedicated to selflessness we should be higher.
Last S/O to the sun devils. Cracking top 25 🔱 😈

We still can't get over the record shattering EDSBS Charity Bowl! Over 5,500 donors gave $696,409 last week! When you add recurring gifts, Charity Bowl donors gave $829,610. A HUGE Thank you to Spencer, Holly and every EDSBS Donor who gave to help refugees and Georgia thrive.
