The final episode of THE COLBERT REPORT is days away, and in honor of Stephen's departure, he is raffling off his desk and fireplace from THE COLBERT REPORT set - all for a good cause. Watch a video from Stephen announcing the Omaze experience on last night's Colbert Report below!

For only a $10 donation a www.Omaze.com/Colbert to support The Yellow Ribbon Fund and DonorsChoose.org, you're entered to win these items from the iconic Colbert Report set. The winners are chosen at random via a raffle. The first place will receive Stephen's desk, and second place will receive The Official Colbert Report fireplace complete with a one of a kind fifth anniversary Steven Colbert portrait, mantle, tools, fireside chair, rug, hourglass, flag, and TV monitor with virtual fire. The raffle concludes on December 17.

From Stephen: Nation, as you know THE COLBERT REPORT will be going off the air soon because I've won TV. I've measured my garage, and unfortunately, it won't fit both my car and a working TV studio. So I'm raffling off two of the most beloved parts of my set for charity. The iconic C-shaped desk is not only copyrighted, but serves as its own copyright symbol. And the fireplace hearth comes with a leather chair and portrait featuring (L-R) me, me, me, me and me. Either way, a part of THE COLBERT REPORT will live on in your heart, your home, or possibly your storage locker.

And most importantly, you're supporting two incredible causes!

Who You'll Support (Donations will be split 50/50 between the two organizations)

The Yellow Ribbon Fund helps bridge the gaps while our military men and women are recovering near Washington D.C., at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Fort Belvoir Community Hospital. The Military provides world class care while injured service members are in the hospital, but sometimes gaps open up between the support the military can provide. Even after service members return to their hometowns, The Yellow Ribbon Fund continues to help.

DonorsChoose.org makes it easy for anyone to help a classroom in need. Public school teachers from every corner of America create classroom project requests, and you can give any amount to the project that inspires you.
