While not strictly Trasformers related, this message is perhaps a smidge more important right now. After the events in Texas, and the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, a number of celebrities have rallied support and donations for the people affected by the storm and floods - among them, director Michael Bay and actor Mark Wahlberg, who have taken to social media to show their support and relief efforts.
Similarly, site sponsor The Chosen Prime have set up a charity raffle, with Takara Tomy Legends LG-43 Dinosaurer/Trypticon, 2 TFcon VIP tickets, and a Bandai SOC Megazord to be won, with donations to the Red Cross, the Houston Humane Society, and Heart to Heart respectively. You can read more about all this below.

As an update to the previous story, we've also seen a press release from Hasbro directly in support of the families and children affected by the Harvey disaster in Texas, and their relief efforts as a company and in collaboration with the Red Cross and non-profit Good360. Read more below.

Hasbro, Inc. is committed to assisting children and families affected by Hurricane Harvey. Through Hasbro’s Play Relief program, in partnership with nonprofit organization Good360, Play Relief kits filled with toys and games are en route to Houston area shelters to provide a distraction and some sense of normalcy for children and their families who have been displaced by the historic storm.

I never thought the money I spent over the years on bots would be helping flood victims. Way to go, Hasbro! 
I just scrolled up and saw the donation contest. That's pretty cool too. I never ordered from Chosen Prime before, but that's an awesome contest so I signed up just to donate. I'll have to buy something from them down the road just for them doing this.

I wanted to enter the Trypticon raffle but, the fact they wanted me to pay for shipping on a raffle ticket put me off

It's probably because I'm from ireland but paying €13.50 to ship nothing isn't a smart idea

This is great news. I myself am a survivor of Harvey, an unprecedented event. Unlike anything i have ever experienced in my entire life. The rain was relentless. But what made it worse was the flood waters. The dam near my home experienced a breach and substantial failure. As did another nearby dam. Thus sending millions of gallons of water stored in the reservoir behind, into the nearby neighborhoods. People then became trapped and had to be rescued by helicopter and boat. Most with their entire life contained in a garbage bag. Very saddening. Folks from all over the country down here risking their own lives to save people theyve never even met or seen. It was a beautiful thing. Americans helping fellow Americans.Fortunately i was spared. But others, so many others were not as fortunate. So many have either lost their homes, belongings, pets and even loved ones. So lets do what we can for the great state of texas and make donations. Every little bit helps.
Houston strong. Forever.
