Nobody is going to shame you if you don't donate, or if you'd rather give your money to the VHL or a charity of their choice. What they will shame you for, however, is using a charity thread to forward a one-sided, imagined feud. As the original post states, this wasn't even organized by the SHL itself, and the VHL is hardly the only league that isn't captured in this effort.

Maybe you can donate to one of the aforementioned charities directly if you'd rather not support the drive itself. Maybe you could convince the VHL to launch their own charity drive to inspire participation from those who feel left out. You could even just send a complaint to the commissioner or try to find a way for the VHL to be included in the future from the actual organizers of the dive.

Whatever you do, it's probably going to be better than hijacking a charity drive thread to peacock about how you're not going to participate.

We did reach out to the VHL, they declined citing they usually do their charity drive in December. Happy to answer any questions you have. I have no stake in a VHL-SHL rivalry. The VHL does amazing work with their charity drives the timing just didn't align but we are constantly looking to bring more leagues into the fold and continue to grow the charity drive. I think the trick is getting all the calendars to align, after this one wraps up I will be trying to reach out to more to improve the number of leagues involved.
