Our annual March Madness fundraiser raises money to eliminate polio. The games started with 68 teams. Participating members contributed $15 to have the names of two teams drawn for them. After the first round, 16 teams remained. At our March 24 Club meeting, members paid $10 for each team name that they drew from Bill Sturm's hat for the second round of play. In Bill Smith's update at our March 24 meeting (image above), he reported that all of the Sweet Sixteen teams had been sold. He reported that four club members, including Vicki Megginson, Ross Hodel, Mary Michelson, and Bill Kempiners, established teams for the drawing to try to pick the winner for the Final Four Teams. The prize to the team leader who draws the team that wins the national title is $75 for the team. The team leader who draws the second place team will receive $40 for the team. Team leaders will draw the names for the final four teams at our March 31 meeting.
We are doing this fundraising project for the betterment of humankind by helping eliminate polio, as well as having fun while we participate!
