Giving It All Back
While some game shows have a multitude of prizes and hefty winnings to hand out, some take a slightly different approach. Giving It All Back is one of those shows. The producers collect anonymous donations from all manner of sources - businesses, individuals, countries or even cabals - and pool these resources. Different celebrities are then paired up with individuals representing worthy causes for donation. While everyone walks away a 'winner' in that there is always a minimum donation level that is given to the runners up, the pair that do the best in a number of physical, mental, educational and social challenges generally take away a good sized pot. The early days of the show fluctuated wildly as to the amounts of donations but are now doled out in an incremental manner; over the years different failsafes have been put into place to ensure that everyone's charities are not only legitimate but get the attention they deserve. The smallest runner-up donation is generally $10k, while the biggest grand prize awarded was just under $2 million.
How in the world does this all relate to dragons? Well that's an interesting question. During one season, the "Patrol!" production staff encountered the show's investigation team as they were helping out after a small earthquake caused a large fire in one suburb. The Patrol! show spotlighted the good that the game show could do, as it related to doling out aid, and the dragons Searched two of the production staff. Suddenly, Giving It All Back could go global - or even multi-dimensional. They've mostly chosen to remain at home, but they take requests from charities as far away as India and Fur-Side Australia, so things are starting to change.
This show has seasonal editions, and this group of participants are part of the Winter Holiday Specials! All attending classes at C4 (Crescent City Community College) and having a background in public service, with majors that are varied, and skills that are equally unique, but all apt to add quite a bit to a charity drive!
