Fantasy Football for a cause: Season 2

Last year, the cause was for IDPs in Nigeria, and the prize money of ₦1.7 million was duly transferred to Global Rights who have used it to help with interventions for an IDP Camp in Kaduna.

A few people have asked me if we’ll be going again, and after some consultation, the answer is yes. The code to join the league this year is kx4c02. Or you can click here.

This time, whatever prize money is raised, the winner will decide how to share it among three groups — Global Rights (again), and Sesor. Both groups work with women, both work with IDPs.

The same ground rules apply. I am starting with a donation of ₦150,000. Donations can be tracked in this online spreadsheet. For the sake of transparency and accountability, all pledges should be redeemed before the start of the EPL season.

Contributions to the prize will be accepted between today and 12 October 2020 (a week after the EPL transfer window closes), and on 13 October, the initial prize money will be announced. Contributions will be accepted again between 1 January and 31 January 2021, when the transfer window reopens in England. As happened last year, it is only donated pledges that will be included in the prize money. The money will be released to Global Rights on 24 May next year, the day after the EPL season ends, at which time the two NGOs will get to work helping women in IDP camps according to a schedule determined by the winner of the challenge.

Thanks all, and let’s do it again.
