Hi guys I'm considering trying to get a fundraiser going for charity and I'm trying to come with some ideas on how to go about it. Here's a little backstory on how the idea came about:
So in January I went on a trip with some friends and Michael Traynor (Nicholas from the Walking Dead) was busy photobombing a lot of people's pictures (including my friends'). I'm a bit of a photobomber myself. We just saw Traynor again a few weeks ago and my friend made him a plaque that said "2016 Photobomb Champion" and she photoshopped him into that famous picture from Titanic where DiCaprio is holding Kate Winslet with her arms spread out. Traynor laughed and said he wanted to win that award every year. As my friends have been looking through pictures of our last trip on social media they keep seeing my photobombs. As a joke I said "Someone should tell Traynor I'm coming for his title." My friend took a screenshot of me saying that and tweeted it to Traynor to which he responded "Welcome to TraynorLand (please take off your shoes)."
We are going to see him again in February and again next October. I was thinking about making this unofficial photobomb war official and trying to do something to raise money for charity. Anyone have any ideas on how we can make this "war" into a fundraiser? I think he'd be down to do it. He's a super nice guy and a lot of fun.
Sorry for the rambling when giving the backstory btw.

bababooeyBeen thinking about this one since yesterday, but outside of picking a specific (popular cause) charity, or multiple charities, I do not know what to suggest. Maybe upping the status/celebrity of the peole you are hopping into the photos of, plus increasing levels of silly expressions/poses, would help. Let the contest run for a certain amount of time, and then let people vote for who won. They could donate a dollar to vote, or the loser would donate a fixed amount to the winner's charity. Just a thought.... Edit: forgot to say....hit em with the heeeeeiiin!

I'm suggesting a charity thing mainly to keep it fun and good spirited. Traynor could easily beat me in the Celebrity department, but I do have a wedding and a cruise coming up. Since he won a plaque from my friend unopposed a few weeks ago I was thinking the winner could be announced Halloween weekend 2017. Btw a few years ago I was able to baba booeyed an Asian newscast in Manhattan. Random but a fun memory.
