March Gladness
"The place God calls you to is the place where college basketball and the world's deep hunger meet." – Frederick Buechner
Every year for the past 25+ years I have hosted a March Gladness Tournament – the confluence of NCAA tournament fun and winning money for your favorite nonprofit.
Here’s how it works:
1) Click here - https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/mens-basketball-bracket/group/52439/invitation?key=20dcda4740a0e045 – and go to the March Gladness Yahoo page and sign up.
*Make sure you put your NAME and THE NONPROFIT YOU ARE PLAYING FOR as your team name … otherwise we won’t know where to send the money when you win! (Example – Mike Kinman – Thistle Farms).
STEP 2 – Pay your registration fee of $10 a bracket in one of three ways
- -Venmo - @Mike-Kinman
-CashApp - $MikeKinman
STEP 3 – Spread the word and invite your friends. The more people enter. The more your favorite nonprofit gets.
STEP 4 – Watch. Cheer. Win!
At the end of the tournament, ALL money donated will be given to the nonprofits with the following distribution:
1st place – 50%
2nd place – 25%
3rd place – 15%
4th place – 10%
So follow the steps, have a great time, enjoy the tournament … and spread a little gladness around to people who need it the most.
Happy March Gladness, everyone!
As always, I have an “open book” policy… which means I keep a spreadsheet of all the entrance fees received and copies of the receipts being sent to the nonprofits of the winners. They are available for anyone to see upon request. That I am recording all of them can be double-checked by the list of the brackets on the home page of the tournament group.
OK … now enter, fill out those brackets … and … #BearDownArizona!
