Football season. That most wonderful time of the year when your Sundays are spent glued to the couch, yelling and screaming at the TV as your quarterback hands off on 3rd and 8, while you also keep an eye on your iPad where you're streaming Red Zone so you can see if the backup to the starting RB on your fantasy team is vulturing a touchdown.

Yep, fantasy football makes everything better - it’s science. And the only thing better than watching that sleeper pick you made score two touchdowns to help you take the week and give you bragging rights, is also knowing that it is helping improve someone’s life for the better. That’s what the ‘Friends of Charity:Water’ DFS league is about.

Every week, members of the league play in a Daily Fantasy contest where they draft a team and see who’s team scores the most points. They pay an entry fee of $10 (please note that this is a weekly entry fee). Half of all entry fees collected will get divided between the top 2 teams for that week, with the winner getting to enjoy lording their superiority over the rest of the league. The other half of all entry fees will get donated to Charity:water, a wonderful organization dedicated to making sure everyone has access to clean water. 100% of the money it receives in donations is used to fund clean water projects that need it the most, and it provides full transparency of how the money is spent.

This means that those hours of fun and frustration we spend putting together our lineups and then watching it blow up (the good way or the bad way) on Sunday will also be changing someone's life - helping a mom spend time with her kids instead of walking miles to get water from a pond, keeping a baby from getting sick or dying because he's drinking dirty water, or allowing a child to go to school and play with friends instead of carrying a heavy pot of water on her head for over 2 hours.

Because having access to clean water shouldn’t be a fantasy.
