Today, the CSL comes to the community asking for support. We lost a large chunk of funding for our Grand Finals event and now need help in order to send the top schools to the Grand Finals. We are just as excited as you all about the event and have been working tirelessly to get it off the ground, but now we need help.
Help support the CSL in hosting our Grand Finals event... we are looking to raise money in order to fly out the top 4 teams to our event and every dollar donated will help CSL players compete for the grand prize.
Donate and Win!!!
We are extremely humbled by the support of this community. Reaching our goal was an insane accomplishment and relief. People are still free to donate post finals if they wish to be entered in the raffle and to support the CSL and get a free Day[9].tv premium pass! Any extra funds we make will be put into our events in the future such as our live Canadian Regional LAN! Thank you everyone!

Oh man, this looks really cool! I'm a little confused, though. In the OP it mentioned "Gold, Plat, and Grand Master" Donators but the three tiers are Bronze, Gold, and Plat.

Grand Master Donators are chosen from the top 200 donors on the server. They are done so seemingly randomly, and cannot be replaced.
On a serious note, I will try to get some in! Is there a deadline for consideration to the raffles?
