Yes that's right folks..... Christian Children's Fund turned down $17,000 in donations because it was raised by Dungeons and Dragons players. CCF turns out to be the late Gary Gygax's favorite charity but the asswipes turned down the money because we all know how EVIL D&D can be......

I caught this from DF. Yeah, its pretty outrageous on their part. A total bunch of idiots seems to be running that charity these days.
At the edge of madness, he will show no sadness
Never broken, he'll be back for more
Proven under fire, over trench and wire
No fear of death, he's unshakeable
Forged for the war, he's unbreakable

It's a shame they let politics interfere with the welfare of those children. 
Ah ha ha ha ha haaaaa! 
Stupid Christian Children's Fund!

Uh-oh. Wait, maybe I was too hasty."Gen Con contacted CCF about our intentions and asked for a logo and some promotional materials that we could use on our website. We were informed by a person at CCF that they would not be able to provide us with these materials, apparently due to our association with D&D. We were not comfortable with this position, considering Gary’s role as co-founder of D&D, and founder of Gen Con, and therefore we decided to pick a different charity...We later found out that we had been misinformed as to CCF’s position in regards to D&D and Gen Con, but by then we had already chosen Fisher House as our charity."
CCF itself has been sending out a canned response to this controversy; here's the important part:
"When Gen Con contacted CCF about its auction, we were pleased to accept donations. However, we couldn’t lend our name for publication because our policies have specific criteria for endorsements. We were unaware that this had caused any problem or concern for Gen Con until we began receiving emails. This decision was in no way intended to be a reflection on Mr. Gygax, gaming enthusiasts or the game Dungeon and Dragons. We have the utmost respect for the gaming community and were touched by the generosity expressed through your auction."
