In May of 2013, an MWO player's daughter by the name of Sarah Parres had died of brain cancer at the age of 5. Had she not passed away from brain cancer, she would have been eight years old today. After hearing of this news, the community worked together to push for a Charity Mech known as the JR7-D(S) (or the Sarah's Jenner as it's affectionately called by the community). There was a limited donation period lasting from May-August where if donors gave $10 to the Canadian Cancer Society, the proceeds would go to them instead of PGI and they would get the Mech with an exclusive paintjob. As a result, the community would raise $122K as the charity ended.
Aftermath
After the Charity ended, PGI would release four stickers based after Sarah's Jenner that the community could use however they saw fit. Unfortunately, the link to download them no longer works. Thankfully, I was able to preserve them on the forums.

Suggestion
Since September is known as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, it would be a good idea to have a Charity Jenner and Jenner IIC inspired after the Sarah's Jenner, along with decals and other items akin to Mech Packs as an exclusive starting on September 1st - September 30st. This time, we can have two choices to donate when it comes to childhood cancer: The Canadian Cancer Society and St. Jude. Just like before, donating $10 to either one would give you the content. They would get rewards based on donating.
Rewards:
JR7-D(C) Charity Jenner or JR7-IIC(C)
