I get that it's a good cause, but this is off topic and doesn't belong on NANOG.

If we allow everyone with a good cause to post to NANOG then we would be inundated with charity emails.

Bonus support for Action for Children
A BT senior manager is donating half of his bonus to Action for Children’s Byte 
Night North West event and encouraging others to do the same.
Colin Johnston is an IT technical manager who has supported Action for Children 
for several years. This year he and hundreds of other executives will be 
sleeping out for a night on 6 October as part of the charity’s annual Byte 
Night event.  As well as raising money by taking part in this, Colin has 
decided to also donate 50% of his bonus payment (£2,482.00 / 2 = £1241(donation 
amount)) this year to Action for Children.
Colin said, “Being involved for a while with Action for Children, I’ve got to 
know about the amazing work they do with children and young people and 
families. I’m happy to be in a position where I can help support their services 
by fundraising and donating.  If people can’t take part in Byte Night then they 
can still help out by donating what they can – if other executives decided to 
also give half of their bonus to Action for Children, it would be a simple but 
really effective way of helping young people to have a brighter future.”

Byte Night is Action for Children's biggest annual fundraiser; a national 
‘sleep-out’ event. Each year, hundreds of like-minded people from the 
technology and business arena give up their beds for one night to help change 
the lives of vulnerable young people. It all began in 1998 when 30 individuals 
slept out in London and raised £35,000. Since then Byte Night has grown to 10 
UK locations and over 1,200 people slept out in 2016. Byte Night is one of the 
UK’s top 17 mass participation charity events and is the largest charity 
sleep-out having raised over £9.6 million since the first event. Byte Night is 
celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and its fifth year in the North West.
Colin is a board member of the North West Byte Night event.
BT Volunteering is a very worthwhile endeavour.
