I thought it would be great if Riot would release a skin just for charity reasons. I think there are many opportunitys and charity organisations who would be happy to get a deal like this. Also it would be awesome publicity for Riot. Maybe World Childrens Day would be a possible Date to release a Teddy Bear Gnar skin and to donate the earned money to charity. Would be a good thing for everyone :)

Technically, Jaximus by itself wasn't a charity skin (not as far as I know), however it is currently the only skin with a special voice line added BECAUSE of a charity event.
The short summary of Jaximus' story: There was a League fan (forgot his name) who was fighting cancer and losing. He wanted to visit Riot HQ before he passed on, so Riot and Make-A-Wish partnered for this event. The funding was a massive success and he was able to meet the Riot staff and visit Riot HQ. His favorite champion was Jax. Sadly, he passed on after losing his battle, so in memoriam, Jaximus' /joke was replaced with "Here's to you, kid."
URF Warwick was definitely a charity skin for a "Save the Manatees!" charity fundraiser.
I would love more skins dedicated to charities, though. Maybe we could get a Nurse Soraka or Wish-Granter Soraka for another Make-A-Wish charity?
