We are so excited to announce that Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder and NEGU All Star Team Athlete Skip Schumaker is hosting a fantasy football challenge and has invited teammates Todd Frazier, Zack Cozart and Brayan Pena to join him!!!
“It’s a great opportunity for our local fans to show their love for the Reds and fantasy football while supporting four great charitable causes,” Schumaker said. “What was supposed to be a one-time event last year drew such overwhelming support that we are asking players on other teams to help do more for people in need. I’m thrilled to host the Big League Impact Fantasy Football Challenge for the second year in a row.”
Big League Impact is bringing its winning formula to Cincinnati on Tuesday, Aug. 25 for a Fantasy Football live draft. The event will take place in The Handlebar at Great American Ball Park from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.. Fans will then have the opportunity to compete against a Red throughout the entire NFL season! Wow! What a cool opportunity!
Proceeds will go to benefit three nonprofit organizations, Big League Impact Global Initiative (www.bigleagueimpact.org), the Reds Community Fund (www.reds.com/community) and the Jessie Rees Foundation (www.negu.wpengine.com)!!!!!
Fans can register at www.bigleagueimpact.org.
Participants will be treated to a VIP ballpark experience that includes drafting and playing fantasy football against a Reds player, a tour of the ballpark, team photos, autographed memorabilia, limited edition BLI merchandise, batting practice viewing, seats to the game and the chance to win an autographed Skip Schumaker BLI jersey and other prizes!!!
“This is such a fun event from draft day through the football season. What better way to raise money for three very important causes.” – Skip Schumaker.
