A Friendly Competition for a Good Cause

Last month concluded the 2nd annual alternative business financing fantasy football competition that was co-hosted by DailyFunder and Gainesville, FL-based Merchant Cash Group.

Business Financial Services

This year’s champions were Business Financial Services and Financial Advantage Group but the real winners were two non-profit organizations that didn’t have to worry about lineups, matchups, injuries or luck this season. That’s because participants chipped in towards a prize exclusively reserved for charity.

A little competitiveness went a long way in 2013 as the league raised a total of $9,000. Subsequently Business Financial Services, the winner of League A designated their half of the winnings to be donated to Wounded Warrior Project. Financial Advantage Group, the winner of League B asked that their half be donated to The Spring of Tampa Bay.

Fostering the growth of small businesses and communities is the foundation upon which this industry is built, but good character really shows when these companies continue that initiative outside of the office. Fantasy football competitions are usually the time when folks leave work behind and let their hair down. In the previous 2012 season, it wasn’t long before participants lobbied for the competition to serve a purpose. That winner-take-all season ultimately resulted in a $7,100 donation being made to the ALS Association thanks to NYC-based Sure Payment Solutions.

Business Financial Services and Financial Advantage Group have both told us the competition was a lot of fun. Would they do it again? They both say Absolutely!

The next showdown is in the fall of 2014. Start preparing now!
