Finn Dawg's Cards & Collectibles for a Cause

Your Cards.

Their Future.

A Real DIFFERENCE.

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Port Jervis, New York. We accept donations of sports cards, collectibles, and cash — and use every dollar to support kids, first responders, and veterans in our community.

What We Do
Most nonprofits ask for a check.
We also take your rookie cards.

Finn Dawg's accepts donations of sports cards, collectibles, and memorabilia — then uses those donations, along with cash gifts and fundraising, to support the people who need it most.

Kids working toward their future. First responders who show up every day. Veterans who served and came home.

Every card donated. Every dollar given. It all goes to work.

Simple as 1-2-3

Our Story
Built by Someone
Who's Been There.

Nick Ferrara — known as Finn — is a retired, disabled veteran of the U.S. Army, a lifelong sports card collector, and the founder of Finn Dawg's. He started this organization because he knows firsthand what it means to serve, to come home, and to need a community that shows up.

This isn't a corporate nonprofit. It's a Port Jervis, New York organization run by real people — Nick, Bill Onofry, and Mike Calvario — built for real impact.
