So I'll start this one in an attempt to encourage late/last minute donations.  The rules are pretty simple as a sort of reverse-Price-is-Right kinda thing.  Whomever guesses the closest to the final tally for CFT sticks without going *under* wins.  Keep this in mind and hopefully it will keep the guesses on the higher end.  One guess per person but you can change your guess.  Contest closes on Oct 28, 2016, giving you all 3 weeks to get your guess in. Winner will recieve a premium-grade fiver (think Padron, Liga, etc.) and perhaps a hitchhiker or two.  And... go!

**Edit**: Quick caveat, you must donate to CFT in order to be eligible to win.

1254 sounds like a good number.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.
