Hi guys, just an early heads up that Merchant Cash Group and I will be returning to host the 2nd annual Alternative Lending Fantasy Football League for Charity.

Sure Payment Solutions won last year and donated all $7,100 raised to the ALS Association. (Half was originally directed to the Hurricane Sandy Relief Foundation but that charity turned out to be a scam, got shut down by the Feds, and the money was fortunately returned so we could send it to somewhere else. Both halves ended up going to the ALS Association)

Some of the fanfare from last year:

12 companies ran a team and 16 companies donated. We hope to get even more press this year. The weekly standings will be posted on the homepage of www.merchantprocessingresource.com all season.

The press releases announcing the league in the beginning of the season and the release announcing the winner at the end of the season will list the name of every contributor.

We hope you'll be a part of it this year. A friendly competition for charity is a great cooperative PR builder for the industry.
