Could you guys please help out our Gaming Club? [GoFundMe]

I work as a computer teacher and IT at a K-12 school and I run a PC Gaming Club there for the kids.

Unfortunately we're stuck with very, very under-powered, ancient graphics cards. Most of the other hardware is alright, we got SSD boot drives, 8GB of RAM, and i7 2600 CPUSs... but we're stuck with these awful, OEM, Radeon HD 6570 graphics cards. I haven't outlined this fact in my GoFundMe page, but these things are also starting to self destruct too because the heat sinks are so bad that they inflate and crack the fan shroud, seizing the fan, or worse, bust the GPU die/short something. I have pics too.

We aren't going to be using these for just gaming, also need the hardware beef for a Game Design/Development class I intend on teaching as well as some other Digital Media topics as well.

Well we're very much SOL then cause my reach is effectively zero on social media. I mostly peruse around reddit and of course 99% of subs say no begging.
