Tip of the Hats 2017
A three-day charity broadcast benefiting Camp One Step programs for kids with cancer
September 22nd - 24th
Hosted live on Twitch!
What is Tip of the Hats?
Tip of the Hats is a charity event hosted and supported by members of the Team Fortress 2 community. Since 2013, it has raised over $500,000 for Children's Oncology Services, Inc., which offers camps and other educational and excursion programs throughout the year that allow children with cancer to just be kids. With your help, COSI can offer attendance to kids at little to no cost to their families.

What's this?
Tip of the Hats has partnered with ScrapTF to provide a way for your Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive item donations to be converted to their cash equivalents and donated to Camp One Step. If you'd like to donate cash directly, we will open cash donations one week before the event, so hold tight!
What do I get?
Medals are currently being designed and finalized, and will be shown here when they're ready.
Donors who give at least $10 worth of items will be rewarded with an in-game medal. Donate more to reach higher tiers and unlock an even fancier medal!
Donations made on our cash donation tracker also count towards a medal. We will add your ScrapTF item donation total to your cash donation total before determining which medal to award.
Note: You will only receive one medal, based on your total ScrapTF and monetary donation amount. Medals will be awarded a few weeks after the event has concluded.
How does this work?
Items donated to Tip of the Hats through the ScrapTF Fundraiser System are converted to cash through the following procedure:
As soon as the transaction is complete, ScrapTF stores the cash value of your donation at the time it was made. This stored value does not change, even if the economy changes and the value of future donations we accept fluctuates. ScrapTF then transfers the items to a TotH-specific Marketplace.tf account, and sells the items for cash at the price stated when the donation was made. In the event that the item is sold for a higher price than initially listed, the full sale value will be still donated.
Neither ScrapTF nor Tip of the Hats takes any portion of the donations. However, a 2% fee is taken from each item's sale value to cover the fee from the payment processors that ScrapTF uses. This fee is actually slightly higher than 2%, but ScrapTF takes that small hit to maximize the amount of money going to the charity. As an example, if a key sells for $2.00, the fee will be $0.04, and the final donated value will be $1.96.
The items will take time to sell. ScrapTF will periodically initiate a payout for the TotH marketplace.tf account that goes directly to the Camp One Step (Children's Oncology Services, Inc.) PayPal account. No Tip of the Hats staff will ever touch any of the money involved.
What items can I donate?
Our fundraiser only accepts items that can be quickly sold for a predictable cash value. These items are listed below.
