The Tamarack City Fantasy Football League (TCFFL) every year, in memory of our fallen friend and 2-Time Champion, Aaron “AC” Brooks, makes a donation to a local organization within the Copper Country. AC was a dearly loved member of the TCFFL as well as an active volunteer in the community. We truly believe that AC’s spirit lives on in volunteers and good work in the community and this is why we choose SAIL as our 2023 Volunteer group to receive our donation. For 2023 our donation in memory of AC is $200 to SAIL in his honor. Donations are now over $1,560 since 2017 in memory of our dear friend from the TCFFL.
