Orange and Fiesta Bowl Tickets

I am on the season ticket lists for both the Orange and Fiesta bowls. Obviously WVU, Oklahoma, Va Tech and Kansas fans are not interested in their respective bowl games because these tickets are selling on ebay, stubhub, etc. for pennies on the dollar. So...instead of allowing some fan of a team whose fans obviously don't give enough of a damn to go see their team, I've decided to give these away to charities in the Miami and Phoenix areas. Problem is I don't know of any. I would prefer that it be 501(c)(3) so that the gift is tax deductible and if possible I'd like to donate to a charity that benefits children...some kid must want to see these games, right?

I looked into Make a Wish, but those wishes are pretty extravagent and I'm just looking to donate game tickets. Anyone have any suggestions?

Donate them to me! Just kidding. It's cool to see that you are giving them to a good place instead of selling them. I would also try out the Boys and Girls Club of America.

Thanks guys...Orange Bowl tickets went to the Northwest Boys and Girls Club of Miami and the Fiesta tickets went to Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Central Arizona.

my four remaining orange bowl tickets are also looking for a home and the leading candidate is soldiers on leave - any ideas? - here in chicago I donate my sox tix to the illinois national guard family assistance program and may look for similar in south FLA - who's got a suggestion?
