Kevin Love will host a DraftForCharity contest on Nov. 6, with a first place prize of travel for two to Cleveland to attend the game on Nov. 19, followed by a private basketball viewing party with Love the next evening. The Kevin Love contests will benefit pediatric cancer research.
“I love what FantasyDraft is doing with DraftForCharity and am grateful for the opportunity to help raise money for some very important causes,” said Love. “This is a new and fun way for fantasy sports fans to play, win a great fan experience and also do something good for our community.”
The Jordy Nelson Experience, which runs Nov. 15 and 16, offers a backstage tour and front row seat as Nelson hosts “Inside the Huddle,” a weekly TV show that airs in Green Bay. The winner and a guest will attend a private dinner with Nelson prior to the show and receive two tickets to the Dallas game in Green Bay on Dec. 13.
