if the fundamentals are the same as bitcoin you can't just pick a random address on your own, the address has to match certain rules which is the base58 encoding with checksum.
like this:

Code:

Bitcoin address = version + RIPEMD-160(SHA-256( Public Key )) + checksum

you can find articles on how to do it with bitcoin and then change them to your altcoin:

p.s. donating them would be wiser and easier!

Donating is an awesome idea. ANd you would get extra marketing mileage out of it.
