We will need to know which charity your company is playing for before draft day, which will be the final week of August.
Each company will receive checks made out to their charity for the amount they won through the season. This is so you see that the exact amount won for your cause is sent to the proper contact at said good cause.
The league will be covered in the pages of Floor Covering News through the season. Each charity will be given some ink in the beginning of the season to highlight what the organization does to make a difference. Remember, it feels good to do good!
