Brackets for Good

Brackets for Good began in 2012 when a couple NCAA March Madness fans decided to create an engaging way to help raise money for Indianapolis non-profits.  They created an online bracket system that resembles the NCAA tournament.  Starting with 8 organizations, they raised $32,000 for the organizations.  In the 2nd year, they raised $85,000 for 16 organizations.

In 2014, there are 64 non-profit organizations that are set up in the bracket.  One non-profit organization is paired up against another.  The organization that raises the most money within the 1st round advances to the 2nd round.  All money raised goes to the organization and there are prizes for winning the tournament.  To find out more, here’s a link to a 60 second video about the competition [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jskPh8hBh_8]
