A group of folks are doing a bracket challenge that's also a charity fund raiser.

Whoever scores the highest wins half the money.
Whoever scores the lowest chooses a charity to send the other half.

$5 entry fee. If we can get 100 participants then that's $250 in someone's pocket and $250 going to charity (I'll be pushing hard for the Jimmy V Foundation).

What if I win and someone donates my $5 to Al Qaeda

Who blindly donates to a charity

I'm the one who will be sending the money in so I'll make sure everything is legit.

this group is small. winner takes $10

There's a big group of people already paid in who aren't from TWW or in the facebook group. We're definitely going to hit 50 (so at least a $125 payout) but I'm really hoping to get 100.

Come on folks, do it for Jimmy V!

topping it off for JimmyV

3/12/2012 10:02:45 AM

i think i might have won this. what's the total amount of money in the pool?

4/2/2012 10:16:28 AM

Unfortunately nowhere near as big as I had hoped, but there's still $40 up for grabs.

There's a non-TWWer who has Kansas, he's currently in 3rd place but close enough that he could pass you.

4/2/2012 3:17:31 PM

where does he live? i'll cut his throat.

4/2/2012 3:37:50 PM

Boston.

Also, he knows nothing about college basketball, he just got lucky this far.

4/2/2012 3:41:12 PM

well as long as UK wins i will happily take the $40

4/2/2012 3:43:19 PM

Mazal tov, PM me your name and address, i don't think i kept the envelope you sent with the entrance fee.
