I once gave my very conservative evangelical Dad a rundown on exactly how D&D is played, and he looked at me with astonishment and said, "That's IT?" The hysteria and wild claims the Christian right has made about this game far exceeds its potential for harm. (Hey, I still play from time to time, and look at me! - Okay, I'm a dorky middle-aged loser, but NOT satanic, suicidal or even disrespectful to my parents.) I thought that this particular bugbear had long ago played itself out, though. Guess there are are enough lingering fears to create this silliness.
I hope they find another charity more worthy of their largesse. I think it speaks well of the denizens of Greater Geekdom that they raised so much. Good going!
