Good cause to leave my knives to?

Hopefully I won't go anytime soon. But I'm leaving at least one good one to Doug Ritter. He is doing a lot to help out my state. Worthy cause and he should get a little. But the some other foundation for kids to go to college is always good.

So, not trying to be a bummer here, but one of these days I'm going to croak - just thinking ahead.
I have a couple of firearms and a stack of knives that my sister (if she's around when I go) will likely just dump off at the police station and walk away.
It would be a shame to not put the value of my stuff towards a decent charity.
Not sure how to go about this... hopefully I'll have decades to make up my mind.
Any reputable organizations that would auction off my stuff for a good cause? Something for kids, maybe?
To be honest, I'd like to be somewhat selective in who might be eligible to receive my goods.
People who actually would need a knife for work, or reasonable play - gackheads, chest puffers and psychos need not apply.

Can someone point me is some good directions here?
Thanks.

I would be happy to include your knives in the packages I send to the troops in Iraq or Afghanistan. I think that these people meet your conditions. Check out http://warontroopboredom.org

Mr. A.G. Russell, you're a good thing to happen to our troops.
Now... is there any way to ensure that my blades will be distributed to the lower pay servicemen/women?
(later edit: I removed the last part of this post. I have a lousy way with words and often walk away trying to pull my foot out of my mouth... it's genetic...)

You are correct, it was best removed.

Our last shipment was to 734 members of the Airborne Bat in Afghanistan. That included every member of the unit, including officers. I guess we could mark the packages with your knives, EM ONLY. We always ship to the Senior NCO in the unit, either Sgt Maj or 1st Sgt if a company.

We could include a message from you if you wish.

Anybody have any San Diego military contacts that can put me in contact with the right people?
I'll be by Miramar tomorrow or Thursday, would it be a problem if a civilian drove up to the base and donated some knives on the spot? Not sure if that would be a security thing, or not.
