Let's Play March Gladness!!!  Now Open

If you are one who is excited about Duke vs North Carolina tonight, then you will love March Gladness .  What is March Gladness ?

Every year rather than playing a bracket for the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament in the office or on ESPN or CBS, we do it to help kids.  We have nearly 60 prizes including $1,000 Amazon Gift Card for the winner.

In years past we have built a school, bought a van, provided 5 computer labs for nearly 1,500 children.  This year, the beneficiary is Together For Good here in the US.

50% of all kids in the foster system are not there because of abuse, neglect, or bad parenting. But rather at a time of family crisis where the caregivers couldn't take care of the children, there was no safety net.  The cost is devastating...up to $92,000 per child cost to the system plus the parents have to fight the state to get their children back.  

Together for Good raises up families to temporarily care for children in these situations so mom or dad can get back on their feet and the family stays together, often creating a relationship and long-term safety net that wasn't there previously.  At 98% less cost, plus the family stays together.  Finally, it frees up limited funds for the state system to focus specifically on cases of abuse and neglect.

So we play brackets for prizes, trash talk each other, companies - customers and colleagues compete against each other, and at-risk families can stay together.  Win/Win

Don't wait until brackets come out,  March Gladness  is live now.  


Ask us how you can pay for brackets for your clients by simply replying to this email.  Great way to engage your customers and have fun while helping kids in need. 

Together we are making a HUGE Difference!!
