The Great Colin's Last Stand $5,000 (For School Books) Giveaway!

Fucking awesome man. Good to see you doing so well and giving back.

Smokey Joh

Thanks! I've made a lot of money this year, truth be told, and I can very easily do something nice for someone else. So that's what I'm doing.

Colin Moriarty

Yes, good luck to them!

Colin Moriarty

Thanks! I wanted to keep it topical and manageable.

Colin Moriarty

Perhaps! There are a lot of logistics and legal hurdles to doing something like this, so I needed to start small and manageable. Next year this time, we'll reapproach and see what we can do.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you! I think it's important to pay it forward.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

You probably steal 'em on the Dark Web, or whatever it's called. LOL.

Colin Moriarty

It's insane. Glad I can help 10 students!

Colin Moriarty

Thanks ma!

Colin Moriarty

Trying to pay it forward!

Colin Moriarty

Thank you for sharing the video!

Colin Moriarty

Books are truly expensive. I'm glad I can help a few people. Make a little dent.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you. <3

Colin Moriarty

We'll see what happens next year! The reason I wanted to keep it limited was to keep it topical, and to keep the entries to a reasonable number so I can do this right.

Im not in the running, but I'd just like to say that this is an amazing idea and hugely thoughtful. Sometimes I think that some of the bigger patreons gain too much money from ad revenue, baked in product placement on top of the patreon supporters and it feels a bit greedy. You however, have recognised that you are doing well and want to give back to your community in a meaningful way. Bravo Colin.

Smokey Joh

What a awesome idea, good luck to those awesome students

Jason

Good on you Colin. Pretty awesome of you. Books are really expensive. While I'm an engineering major, I think it's good you chose PoliSci and History majors. I believe you've said before there aren't many prospects for history majors unless it's in teaching. Whatever help they can get is great.

Nicholas Swanson

Awesome of you to do this. I'm working on my MBA, but thankfully work is paying for most of it! Any thoughts of maybe adding a tier so your supporters could directly contribute to something like this in the future?

Very cool. :)

Dale Son

This is a great thing you're doing here Colin, you in no way had to do something like this. I was already happy with the content your provide and have not regretted my patreon support and now even less so. I'm glad that our contribution to you not only helps you out but also some kids out there.

Mario Miranda

Way to go, Colin!! Awesome thing you are doing!!

Jeff Pollard

Computer Science students just download all our books as .epub files.

Great idea. I remember books costs crippling everyone at University.

Peter Campbell

Bravo! What a wonderful way to give back, bud! I remember the exorbitant cost of your books each semester - there was always a huge stack of 'em. I love this idea! 👏🏻👍🏻😘📚📓❤️

BettyAnn Moriarty

This is so generous of you Colin.

Alex Ball

Nice!

LE

Glad to see my money going back to some deserving people. Good on you brotha. Shared the video around.

Owen

This is so nice of you to do Colin 🖒🖒.

Cameron Paterson

Great idea. The price of books is no joke. Even digital school books are bonkers. Shout out to all my ECON majors.

You’re such a good guy, Colin. I’m so proud to be someone that helps keep your venture going.

Drew Packard

This is a really great, generous idea! I'm curious: would you consider similar fields, such as public policy? I know at my school at least the pub pol kids had a much more impressive workload than the poly sci kids, not to talk down to poly sci majors overall.

Evan Bederman

Mmm, money.
