#MORETHANWORDS (2016 Version) Begins On Wednesday

If you’ve been around these parts for a few years now, you know that we like to use our little corner of the internet to do something positive for those in need.

Last year, we partnered with Chad Greenway’s Lead The Way Foundation and a number of other online Vikings communities to raise money on behalf of his “Chad’s Locker” initiative. The money raised went a long way towards help young ones and their families keep occupied and entertained during extended hospital stays.

This year, we have even bigger plans…

All of the details of the 2016 #MoreThanWords campaign will be revealed on Wednesday, but here are a few items of note to ensure you’ll want to check in to see how you can help:

  • We have a fundraising goal of $10,000 towards something very worthwhile.
  • The group of giveaway prizes associated with this are honestly the best I’ve ever seen given away on a football site before. And it isn’t even close.
  • Vikings Territory, Vikings Corner, Daily Norseman, Purple FTW!, and Cold Omaha are leading the way this year. If you lead a community of Vikings fans, and would like to get involved, it is not too late to let us know.
  • We have once again partnered with a very prominent member of the Minnesota Vikings. Tune in on Wednesday to find out who!

One last thing before this thing gets kicked off: I want to send a very special thanks to VT‘s co-owner Brett Anderson, Andy Carlson, Daniel House of Vikings Corner, and Christopher Gates of Daily Norseman for sharing with me their passion and dedication for this project.

“It’s the easiest thing in the world to extract negativity out of the Internet, and the world of sports media is no exception,” I explained to Vikings.com following last year’s campaign. “What’s a much bigger challenge, however, is to extract something great from the Internet and move people to take action for a worthy cause.”

The four individuals I mentioned above have been particularly eager to take on such a challenge and for that I am grateful. We hope you will all be interested in helping us prove, yet again, that the Minnesota Vikings have the best fan base in the NFL by also stepping up, coming together, and making a big difference this offseason.

See you Wednesday!
