Summer is drawing to an end and that can only mean one thing.  Football season!  Spirit in Action is pleased to announce the first annual Spirit Garage Fantasy Football League for Charity.  We will be hosting an online Fantasy Football league with all money collected from entry fees being donated to the charity or non-profit of the winner’s choice.  We are looking to have 10-12 entries with an entry fee of $10 per entry (but are more than willing to create another league if the interest is there). 

For those people not familiar with Fantasy Football Leagues (FFLs), here is the jest of it.  FFL is a game based on the actual performance of current players in the National Football League.  A FFL player will pick his “fantasy” team by selecting a number of individual players from multiple teams in a draft format.  Then, points are awarded each week according to how the individual players perform (number of touchdowns, passes completed, etc).  The FFL players will play a different person from the fantasy league and wins and losses are recorded each.  The best record and performance in the playoffs wins.

We will be playing this year through Yahoo.com and sign up is easy.  There is no cost through Yahoo and sign up is free (see steps below).  We will be performing an AutoDraft on or around the first week in September so make sure you sign up soon.  The entry fee can be given to any of the SIA leaders (Carl Holmquist, Tom Hattlestad, or Bo Johnston) at a SG service. 

In order to join the league, go to follow the link below or go to game front page, click the "Sign Up Now" or "Get Another Team" button and follow the links to "Join a Custom League". When prompted, enter the League ID# and password below.
