LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwire – October 22, 2007) – RotoHog.com, the premier fantasy sports Web site, has partnered with Hire A Hero, a non-profit organization that helps the military community ease back into their civilian lives with the ability to network and discover career opportunities, to create the Military Fantasy Football League (http://promo.rotohog.com/HAH). The eight week league will kick off Veterans Day, November 11, 2007. This unique online football league is especially tailored for the Hire A Hero community. Both current and former military personnel, their families and people wishing to support returning servicemen are all eligible to join the Military Fantasy Football League (MFFL ’07). Joining the MFFL ’07 is free and 100% of revenues generated from premium memberships will be donated by RotoHog to Hire A Hero. Weekly and season-long prizes will also be awarded to MFFL ’07 members.
“The MFFL will provide the military community with a fun and exciting way to build upon their existing bonds and create new ones,” stated David Wu, CEO of RotoHog.com. “We believe in the vision that Mr. Caulfield has created with Hire A Hero, and want to do our part in supporting this great cause.”
The MFFL provides soldiers with a unique way to network through the RotoHog social networking feature, as well as to strengthen their relationships in the Hire A Hero community; whether they are overseas serving their country or back in their hometowns across America.
“We are always looking for new ways to help our military community network,” stated Dan Caulfield, Executive Director of Hire A Hero. “Putting people together with a shared interest is often a great way for them to make a connection. That connection can last a lifetime to help our members network back into their civilian lives and find quality jobs. The more people you know and talk to, the better chances you have of finding what you are looking for. RotoHog is ideally suited to support this type of networking because, unlike traditional fantasy sports, there are no limits to the number of people in a league.”
Hire A Hero is a non-profit web-based military community with a mission to help its members network in order to find quality training and career opportunities. The program is open to every American who wants to take action and give back to those who have served.
