Help keep Lawr Michaels’ legacy alive

Late last year, Lawr Michaels passed away, leaving behind a lifetime of loving family and friends. Lawr also left behind CREATiVESPORTS, a fantasy sports company he founded in 1996 and relaunched in 2017, with a focus on smart, original commentary. It began with baseball, which remained its core, but expanded to football, hockey, golf, soccer and more.

Not only was Lawr an accomplished and respected writer, he took pride in providing a platform to foster and mentor those new to the fantasy writing community. This was perfectly reflected by www.creativesports2.com , not only a home for Lawr’s influential voice, but also for aspiring writers, including a number who later transitioned into the mainstream media.

In that spirit Todd Zola, with the help of Brian Walton and the encouragement of Lawr’s wife Diane, yearn to keep Lawr’s legacy a vibrant mainstay in the fantasy sports community, continuing to mentor fledgling writers while sharing Lawr’s passion for fantasy sports, preparing aspiring writers for the next step, be it in fantasy or traditional sports. Todd and Brian are long time friends and colleagues of Lawr, serving as co-managers of Mastersball.com from 2010-2017. 

Your gift will support the costs necessary to maintain www.creativesports2.com along with providing stipends for the writing staff. Todd will be responsible for withdrawing and distributing your gifts with every penny going  directly into the site to cover infrastructure costs and staff stipends. The intent of this campaign is ensuring the site’s viability for the next year.  Continued reader support will also be available on the site itself. 

Please note, a celebration of Lawr’s life is being planned for late spring or early summer in the Bay Area. Details will be forthcoming.

On behalf of the staff of CREATiVESPORTS, past and present, we greatly appreciate your generosity. Your gift will help keep Lawr’s spirit alive, to be felt by everyone with a common fervor for fantasy sports as well as for smart and unique writing.
