After months of strategic waiver moves and playoff drama, the Points for Purpose TAPinto Fantasy Football League has crowned its champion. Tariq Baksh and his team, Quick Snap Riq, secured the league title this season, earning Baksh a championship trophy and a $150 winner's prize. However, the true impact of his victory goes far beyond the leaderboard, as Baksh has decided to donate the winnings to the SGS/HSC Players Alumni Association to support student performing arts programs.

Why it matters

The donation will support the SGS/HSC Players Alumni Association, which provides essential funding for props, sets, and scholarships for graduating seniors at Sampson G. Smith and the Hamilton Street Campus. Baksh views this as an opportunity to help an area that is often overlooked or underfunded compared to athletics, aligning with his personal passion for supporting the arts.

The details

At the start of the season, every league member pledged a donation to the winning manager's charity of choice. Thanks to Tariq's dominant run, those collective funds are now being directed to the SGS/HSC Players Alumni Association. Baksh, who grew up as a "big sports guy" playing football and soccer, was inspired to support the arts after watching his nieces navigate the world of student theater and seeing how it helped them build confidence, discipline, and a sense of belonging.

  • The Points for Purpose TAPinto Fantasy Football League crowned its champion in February 2026.
  • The Franklin Middle School Players will present "The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition" on Feb. 13, 14, 20, and 21 at 7 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinees on Feb. 15 and 22 at the SGS Campus.

What they’re saying

“I'm like a big brother to them—a cool uncle. I helped them train for sports, I play Roblox with them, and I talk to them about their drama at school. But watching them grow through theater... I've seen how these productions helped them build confidence, discipline, and a sense of belonging.”

— Tariq Baksh (TAPinto.net)

“What I knew was fantasy football. I wanted to help any way I could. My nieces are both very passionate at what they do, so I wanted to help the high school or middle school in some type of way.”

— Tariq Baksh (TAPinto.net)

“It wasn't about the competition or the bragging rights at the end of the day. It was more about giving back. That aligned with me.”

What’s next

TAPinto Franklin/Somerset will be working with Baksh and Terri Seggio of the Alumni Association to finalize the donation's impact on the 2026 school year. In the coming weeks, they will feature a deeper look at the organization through an interview with Seggio, highlighting their scholarship funds and the "village" it takes to keep student theater thriving.

The takeaway

This story highlights how a local fantasy football league can be leveraged to support important community causes, in this case the performing arts programs at local schools. Baksh's decision to donate his winnings to the SGS/HSC Players Alumni Association demonstrates the power of aligning personal passions with opportunities to give back.
