I stumbled across this article today. “Secret Santas” in Charlotte, NC are giving away $10,000 (of their own money) in $100 bills. They’ve been doing it for the past few years around the holidays. Be sure to look at the full slideshow of pictures. The comments people have made are interesting, too.

The picture of your coats truly put in perspective, doesn’t it.
I didn’t realize you were still doing this – I have been gone for a while, but I was heartened to read this story.
I know what it is to have a warm coat.
