The answer

The prohibition against cards applies if they are for exchange, due to the presence of ignorance (جهالة), gharar (uncertainty/deception), and gambling. However, if they are for donation, meaning the participant knows that what he pays is a donation to the charitable organization, then there is no harm in that.
