Brackets for Good 2017 Miami Tournament: Register to WIN a $10,000 grant
October 28, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 11:59 pm UTC-4
The Center for Social Change (C4SC) is super excited to introduce Brackets For Good (BFG) to our Greater Miami nonprofit community!
In March 2017, BFG will be hosting a bracket-style tournament. The tournament begins with 64 local charities, each paired in a competitive match-up against another organization. Nonprofits advance through the rounds by scoring more points than their opponent. Every $1 donated on-line through BFG’s site equals 1 point scored for the chosen charity. At the end of each round, the nonprofit with the most points in the individual match-up advances to the next round, the points are reset, and the fundraising continues until a champion is crowned. All along the way, Miami-based nonprofits raise awareness and funds for their causes. Nonprofits play for FREE, keep ALL the dollars they raise, and the winning organization receives a $10,000 unrestricted grant as the Grand Prize, courtesy of C4SC. How awesome is that?!?
