If you access the site via the community link, you don't get the 10% discount. And there were 33 balls before I donated! But I did get an email back from them that they'd gotten the donation, so I guess it will work its way through the system.
When I followed the link from the community page, the 10% discount dialog box popped up on my Mac. There is a little note on it that says limited to 50 coupons. Obviously those 50 haven't been used up yet....
Just bought a couple too. Got the 10% discount. Hope it went to the correct place. Got the receipt from OneWorld but no acknowledgement that the ball went to Victor's campaign.

As noted in the postgame thread, Muma will be at a grocery in Redwood City on Sunday afternoon (today!) https://www.facebook.com/events/1145188702281602/ For those who don't do Facebook, here's what it says: Today at 13:00–14:30 150 Charter St, Redwood City, CA 94063-2802, United States Everyone loves Big Vic! The powerful Quakes defender is a fan favorite and now you can meet him! 7Up presents an opportunity to say hello to Muma at Mi Ranco Supermarket on Charter St. in Redwood City! P.S. It's Mi Rancho and a good source for all those hard-to-find ingredients from Mexico.
When Bernardez retires, I hope he can stay involved with the Earthquakes. Besides Wondo, he's the other player on the team whose passion for the team is very obvious. He played a monster game last night, but I also remember him from several years ago at Stanford Stadium. When he scored against the Galaxy, he thumped the Earthquakes crest on his jersey and I knew that he's one of us...
"2017 SEASON REVIEW: Victor Bernardez" (SJEarthquakes.com - Friday, 11/10/17) GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
From http://www.quakesfan.com/2017/11/27/quakes-roster-moves-analysis/ Muma said goodbye on his Instagram.
I really hope that we keep Muma on as a scout or in some other capacity. But it's a good thing that he's retiring. Looks like Imperiale is gone too, which is fine. The time to use him was two years ago. Go Quakes!! - Mark
"FEATURE: Earthquakes say goodbye, thank you to Victor ‘Muma’ Bernardez" (SJEarthquakes.com - Tuesday, 11/28/17) GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
San Jose Earthquakes defender Victor Bernardez has contract option declined" (Center Line Soccer - Tuesday, 11/28/17) GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
Everyone retires eventually. It's important to know when a player has passed his use by date. We got a handful of good games out of Victor at the end of his career. That has to be enough, because he's done. Go Quakes!! - Mark
Hope he makes a appearance at Avaya next season so we can give him the send off/good bye/farewell he deserves.....
Kind of a bummer way for Bernardez to very possibly end his career. You'd like to announce your plans for retirement before you actually stop playing, but contract options mean inherent risk in that and from the Quakes' perspective, it was definitely time. He put in some good performances in 2017, but it was clear that he had serious limitations either in physical ability or number of useful minutes available. I greatly admire how he played. At his peak, he was one of, if not the most intelligent defender in the league. Very few others anticipated plays as well as he did, and even fewer did it as consistently. I'd love for him to find something else he can do in the Quakes organization. Hopefully there are some openings with the youth teams and even more hopefully the things he knew how to do can be taught to upcoming talent.
