Adam Ostrow of Mashable and Readburner recently put the call out on his blog for bloggers and social media types to join in a fantasy football league with the winner of the league getting to donate their winnings in their name to the charity of their choice.

I thought this was an awesome idea to take something I always enjoy doing each year which is fantasy football and give back to a an organization that gave so much to me growing up – The Boy Scouts of America (of which I am an Eagle Scout).

So with that said here is the team i drafted:

Charities represented:

• Mallory Dash – National Partnership for Women and Families
• Chris Lucas – Nothing but Nets
• Meg Fowler – Jane Doe, Inc.
• Micah Baldwin – Donors Choose
• Adam Ostrow – The National Alliance for Autism Research
• Leslie Poston – Jane Doe, Inc.
• Michael Davis – Cancer for College
• Jonathan Joseph – American Cancer Society
• Aaron Brazell – Chesapeake Bay Foundation
  
• me – Boy Scouts of America

I will keep you updated with how I am doing throughout the season and wish the best of luck to everyone in the league fighting for 2nd place haha…seriously though best of luck and very kool we are all playing for worthwhile charities.

I was doing my normal daily surfing of the interweb and I came across a pretty kool service that helps kids that are a little less fortunate as some of us geeks by providing them schwag from around the web and all the geek conferences that go on year round.

Schwaggin Wagon as it is called recently rented a van, decided on a charity to help out which is InnerKids, and is debuting this week at the Web 2.0 Expo (good place to start as I am sure there is a lot of schwag to grab there.

I think this is a great service and a great way for us geeks to give back to the community so others can show off their geek pride.  So make sure you visit the Schwaggin Wagon at a conference soon or check them out as they are on twitter, facebook, and of course the site itself.
