Tracking donations to a charity (not our own)

Is there any way to set up a paypal account to track donations to a specific charity, which isn't run by us (www.childsplaycharity.org), however lets us see who and how much was donated through our paypal link.
In an ideal situation, this is what I would like to have. A paypal button that gives the usual payment screen, which sends the money directly to that charity's account, but being able to log on another account or something, and checking "Payment (donation) by Joe of 50$" "Payment by Sara of 20$". Basically some friends and I are hosting a raffle and you "buy" tickets, by donating to that charity. We just need some way to track who donated, and how much.
Yes, I guess it could be done by sending it all to say a personal account, then later forwarding it to the charity, but that wouldn't generate as much money since many people may distrust it not going directly to the charity.
Any help would be greatly welcomed.

Raffles, even for charity, are forbidden by the Paypal terms and conditions. Don't do it, you'll get your charity into hot water.
I registered here because I'm involved with a charity and someone sent us some money saying it was from a raffle and almost got our account suspended, even though we didn't even know she was planning it.

Unfortunately there are no built in features or options to support what you have in mind.
