First, let me thank everyone who participated - either in donating an item to give away, or by making a contribution to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. I really, greatly appreciate the generosity shown by all participants.
The total amount raised for breast cancer research and care was US$775.00 and all the money was donated directly to the cause at:

A total of 31 kind folks in the C&F community made donations from US$10 to US$125 - all donations are greatly appreciated. I would like to acknowledge all of the participants, but some have requested anonymity.
Click here to see the contributors who did not request anonymity, it's the scrolling list on the left of the page. Dale is the undisputed largest donor, and the undisputed holder of the most opportunity tokens. Thanks Dale!
There are a total number of 15 items to be gifted away. Some very special and unique items - whistles, flutes, and more - will be gifted (see the list below). Some "humble yet lovable" items from anonymous donors are also going to be gifted - like a broken in Mellow Dog, and a slightly dented unpainted Sweetone in C that has a really comfortable voice.
Assigned tokens were put in the Magical Token Randomizer, then shaken randomly from the Portal of Priziness. In order, those to receive a gift are as follows.
