It was arguably the worst day America had ever seen\u2014a few moments in time that no American will ever forget. But, many stories of strength, fortitude, and positive energy have emerged in the years since the events of September 11th, 2001. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such story is that of Robert Herzog, founder of ZogSports, which has grown to become the most popular adult co-ed social sports league in the country. Each year, ZogSports has seen its membership grow. Over 100,000 fun-loving, sports-minded \u201cZoggers\u201d now come together on courts and fields all over the nation to play for fun, for community\u2014and for a cause.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Herzog, and the Inspiring Story Behind ZogSports<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter his close call on September 11, 2001, Robert Herzog was inspired to create an organization which brought like-minded people together to have fun, give back, and create community. He identified a need amongst New York\u2019s young professionals for better organized sports leagues and more natural social interactions outside of the workplace. Plus, he wanted to tap into the charitable spirit which pervaded the city following 9\/11.\u201d  <\/span>– ZogSports.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

How This Unique Sports League Works<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re interested in taking part in this one-of-a-kind movement, it\u2019s easy to join in!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Go to <\/span>www.zogsports.com<\/span><\/a> and find a team in your area. ZogSports operates sports leagues around the U.S., specifically in Atlanta, Denver, Los Angeles, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select your sport, from basketball to whiffle ball, and many in between.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Select a charity, as a team, to play for that season. This is where the social part comes in\u2014the league hosts happy hour events all season long where it accepts charitable contributions over the course of the entire season. Donations from corporate sponsors are also added to the charity pool.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Try to win! At the end of the season, the winning teams won\u2019t get trophies, Instead, a donation will be made to the team\u2019s charity of choice.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The True Mission of ZogSports<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    With generosity as its core mission, the organization has now turned Robert\u2019s original dream into reality with over $3 million donated to various charities all over the country since its inception in 2002<\/span>. And players are having plenty of fun and laughs along the way!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This year, the league leaders from each city are taking a time out and getting generous with one another. These busy \u201cZoggers,\u201d who take their fun seriously, are hosting a ZogSports global Secret Santa online gift exchange using <\/span>Elfster.com<\/span><\/a> to connect their team, managed by HQ team member and \u201cDirector of Basically Everything,\u201d Amy Cooperstock.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to Jody Zellman, ZogSports\u2019 National Expansion Manager, \u201cAll full-time staff members nationwide will be participating in this year\u2019s Secret Santa. Amy heard about Elfster after an angel came to her in a dream and said, \u2018Check out Elfster and go back to sleep.\u2019\u201d Ha!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cEvery person will purchase a gift worth up to $20 for another person in the company,\u201d he explains. \u201cIf years past are any indicator, it\u2019ll be an afternoon of hilarity\u2014and painful inside jokes. This is the first year we\u2019re expanding our Secret Santa beyond our physical office to incorporate all seven of our markets\u2019 employees nationwide,\u201d he adds.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Team Elfster is proud to help connect these caring and sharing elves!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And here are a few fun facts about the team according to Jody: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cChris, our general manager of New Jersey, was the first baby born in Michigan in 1977. We have four Matts, a Chris, another Chris, a Christine, a Danny, a Danielle, a Joe, and a Joey. Let\u2019s see if Elfster can keep up with that name scramble.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ll give it our best shot, Jody! ;)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
