Chuck Freedman started an awesome initiative: a charity event named RIA Beard Off to support The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, so more needy and deserving kids can have toys to open this holiday season.

Powerflasher wants to share the love for this community and have donated too!

An amazing list of top Flash Developers have contributed, shaved and are now growing (or trying to grow) beards !

Also, make sure to check out what’s happening on twitter: Real-time results for #riabeardoff.

Additionally, to continue the donation incentives began by Elad Elrom, continued by Brian Connatser and followed by Joseph Labrecque, Powerflasher is also adding an incentive for those who contribute to this great community event.

Everyone needs to have Toys! Therefore for all new people contributing after us will have a chance to win a FDT Pro License.

All you need to do is make a donation!
