Being the son of a Media Mogul, attending boring charity events for the common diseases and causes bored Marc as he grew up. It wasn't the causes that bored Marc, really, but the fact that it was the same causes over and over. Breast Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, March of Dimes, blah blah. When Marc signed in Orange County, he wanted to find a charity unique and underloved.

He searched his soul and there was one cause that stuck out in his mind above all others. He set up the charity called Fathers Against Nevaeh, or FAN. There's an epidemic of terrible people in this country naming their daughters Nevaeh, thinking they're being clever because it is Heaven backwards. But all it is, is annoying and destructive to that child. Like AIDS or Child Obesity, it has become an epidemic that nobody wishes to talk about. Marc stepped up and said something.

"People of America, Fathers Against Nevaeh will strive to educate young mothers on the negative effects of the name. It is completely unoriginal, and will more than likely lead your daughter into prostitution by the age of 13. Studies show that the first generation of children, currently ages 5-8, are suffering from higher than average rates of depression and suicidal thought. One such case in Tacoma Washington, a young girl age 6 tried to take her life because she hated her name so much. FAN reached out to the parents of this beautiful, yet poorly named, child. We convinced them to rename her to a much more accepted, and less terrible name, Alicia. Since then Alicia no longer has thoughts of depression, suicide and her grades in 1st grade have gone from Cs to As and has become the most popular kid in her class."

Don't name your daughter, Nevaeh. For her sake.

The scene opens with a collection of gifs, all featuring the Baltimore Hawks. “Everybody Hurts” by REM plays in the background as Kevin Cushing walks onto the foreground. “In the NSFL, every team is responsible for ensuring a competitive team, one that can be part of an exciting game of football, but sometimes the ball gets dropped.”


The gifs change to Jesse Sanderson dropping passes.

“The Baltimore Hawks will be making their first ever playoff appearance, and doing it with home field advantage. Unfortunately, despite appearing to be in great shape, this team may be running into a wall.”

A gif of Darlane Farlane being leveled by Jonathan Saint appears.

“Playoffs are supposed to be the most exciting games of the season, but with the way the Hawks have been trending, I fear that we are setting ourselves up for disappointment. Since losing Carmel Gibson for illegal substances, the Hawks have been outscored 87 to 47 in just three weeks.”

Gifs of various failed plays against the Yeti and the Otters flash on the screen.

“Fans, the Baltimore Hawks need your help. Without banned substances, the Hawks just aren’t going to be able to compete against a winning team. Please, send whatever you can. Even expired prescriptions may be the difference between success and the complete incompetence you’ve seen lately.”

Keeping in mind the infamous devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the threat of Hurricane Henri, which just made landfall this morning, it’s important to raise awareness to the damage that these storms can create and the preparations that can be taken to keep you and your family safe in their wake. As a local in the greater metro New Orleans area, Eric Kennedy now uses his influence and money to help mitigate the impact of these disasters by supporting and speaking (mostly via video conference) at events back home. Hurricane Katrina was the first major Hurricane to devastate southern Louisiana in several decades and was not treated as severely by potential victims as it could have been. Since then, awareness has risen both nation-wide and locally, but Kennedy continues to work hard with local groups to keep citizens mindful of the threat that hurricanes bring and what steps we can take to properly prepare for them. He also works with businesses in the area to help provide supplies for locals that cannot afford to stock ahead of time and even build relocation shelters for families in areas susceptible to flooding. These efforts are an opportunity for Kennedy to give back to his home community, even from the far north of Yellowknife.

The Football City Initiative

Playing the sport of football from a young age is vital to it's success in society, both recreationally and professionally. If Yellowknife Wraiths wide receiver Bailey Cook hadn't started playing when he was five years of age, there is essentially no chance he would be where he is today.

Unfortunately, for so many children in the United States and in the world, there is no opportunity to follow the same path. Many low-income cities and areas cannot afford adequate facilities and equipment to provide a safe football experience for the youth.

This is why Bailey Cook started the "Football City Initiative" which takes part of his salary and donates it to a different area each contract to provide these places with the resources necessary to have football startups and get the children involved. He believes this will lead to the continued growth of the sport, while taking steps to ensure safety, and gives a wonderful outlet to keep the children off the streets and out of trouble. With any luck, this project will be a success, and maybe some of the people affected will be in future NSFL draft classes. Bailey Cook and the campaign managers would like nothing more.

This is a training camp/fundraiser which combines two issues close to my heart; Football and Cancer. You see, my (Real Life) Grandmother came to the United States for the first time on September of 2016. I had only met my Grandmother one time before back when I was 7 years old. I really didn't have too much contact with her as she lived in Ghana. Still, I was really excited she was coming to stay with us for around a year. Then, she started falling very ill around November and was diagnosed with Terminal Liver Cancer. She died in February, but he death could have been avoided if she was able to seek treatment earlier.


My camp is set up as a two week project to help players on both sides of the ball reach there potential. Usually, you can see me bragging around in the forums but I do this so I can riles others up and challenge them to do better. I also do it to hold myself accountable for any misplays or lack of plays, or just not getting TPE. This camp is to try and instill that type of self-confidence, self-motivation, and pride into the younger generation. I also hope to craft the next group of leaders; not just on the field but in other dimensions of the professional world.


The camp isn't free, but all of the proceeds go towards the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I hope that the money raised will be able to help those in need of treatment and spread awareness of Breast Cancer.

*Camera pans in on a man sitting in a chair. The music starts to play it's Sarah Mclachlan "Angel".

"Hello, I'm defensive tackle for the San Jose Sabercats, Calkewlated Chambers the third. Do you know how many Magic the Gathering cards get bent every year because new players are unaware of card sleeves. My friend Tod says 'literally, hundreds, possible thousands, how the f_ck would I know that Cal?'"

*Stands up and pulls out a deck of Magic cards from his back pocket.

"I found these in some nerds binder the other day, look at this!"

*Points to the edges of a worn card.

"This is a travesty, That's why I invite you to my event this Saturday night, while the rest of the world is watching some fight, we will be having a charity auction to raise money for my foundation : 'Sleeves for Dweebs.' Together we can raise awareness and funds to stop the card bending. All proceeds will help buy deck protectors for those in need.

*Opens a binder full of cards

"You can't play from a binder, so let's end this destructive habit once and for all. Join me Saturday at 8pm, at the Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too."

*Unzips zipper and pulls a beautiful "Magic the Gathering" Card from the front of his pants.

"I know I'll be protecting my deck, will you?"

Fin.

As many fans on the NSFL know Jayce Tuck is an avid dancer. Each year Jayce likes to share his passion for dancing with those less fortunate than him. The annual Jayce Jive Jayce Tuck invites celebrities and athletes to spend a week teaching children with terminal illnesses and special needs to dance. The week ends with a red carpet event where the children attend a black-tie, red carpet event where the children are able to show off their moves and dance with their role models and heroes.

As usual the 2017 Jayce Jive is going to pull out all of the stops. Some of the names that have been confirmed attendees are: Katy Perry, Tom Holland (in Spiderman attire), Emilia Clarke, Gal Gadot, Chris Pratt, Hugh Jackman, Harry Styles, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Daisy Ridley, John Cena, Lady Gaga, King Broko, Cristiano Ronaldo, and of course Jayce Tuck himself.

The star-studded group pitches in the money to pay for the 50 to 100 children to participate in the dancing and lessons all week, other fun things throughout the week, as well to get them and their families suited up in black-tie attire, limousines, and all of the other stops for the red carpet event. In addition, all of their future medical treatment and needs are covered.

The event is played on national television each year with 50% of all ad revenue going to charities to support children’s medical research. The dance portion of the event can be experienced live with profits from all tickets going 100% towards children’s research. The event is always a hyped up affair that the celebrities themselves have even started to look forward to.
