#raphotoaday Day 22. #In5years I hope to be giving one philanthropic sports fan a week the feeling @sniperjones35 experienced yesterday as he made a big impact on the relief efforts in Moore, OK with a $1M donation. #ChipIn18 #philanthropy #give #charity #thunderup #nba #okc

#raphotoaday Day 19. The Florida Gators will sport …or shall I say “jort” a new #outfit this fall! #SEC #Football #Florida #Gators #7inarow #jorts

#raphotoaday Day 13. #Backintheday Substance was valued over “Swag”. Kareem’s hook shot wouldn’t make #SportsCenter today, but it was the most effective shot in #NBA history. #Bucks #Lakers

#raphotoaday Day 10. Being a #bleachercreature at #Wrigley in the middle of July with the #Cubbies still in contention.

#raphotoaday Day 6. Who inspires me? I was baptized at age 30. My Savior has inspired me to help the “least of these” and laid my social project, ChipIn18, on my heart two years ago. I hope to be inspired by the causes we help starting in 2014. My dad left us 14 years ago. He inspired me to help others and would give you the shirt off his back. Finally, my family inspires me everyday by reminding me of God’s beauty and Dad’s parenting.

I am a Christian, husband to a beautiful wife, father to three (four in October!) wonderful kids, aspiring social entrepreneur, and sports enthusiast.

My project is ChipIn18, a virtual charity golf tournament that uses fantasy sports and microphilanthropy to feature a different nonprofit every week! I am fiscally sponsored by FJC and donations are 100% tax deductible.

If I can get 1000 donors to pledge $5 or more, this concept becomes reality. Please get involved! Tell a friend! Reblog! Retweet! Like! Above all, “ChipIn” a few bucks now so I can spend the rest of my life doing what I’ve always wanted to do, serve and entertain others through sports!

Thanks!

Rick Pitino named his racehorse after Louisville Cardinals guard Russ Smith.

If you were Smith, would you take that as a compliment?

Ummmm, I’m 35 with an arthritic knee. I’m gonna go with “Yes”.

Reblog if you would play a #fantasy sports game to support a #charity and win $ for your favorite charity.
