Join us in the Rotary Club of Philadelphia NCAA March Madness Bracket fundraiser to support our club’s causes and service to improve the environment and education in our local communities, support International humanitarian efforts and promote peace.

50% of the proceeds collected will help the Rotary Club of Philadelphia aid in our commitment to supply books for students in schools, deliver polio vaccines that protect children for a lifetime, and provide relief and service that will benefit many who are in need throughout the community. The other 50% of the proceeds will go to the high score winner, and bragging rights for the entire year! If by chance there is a tie where the high scorers have the same tie breaker score in the Championship Round), then the winners will split 50% of the proceeds.

Cost: $25/bracket (maximum 3 brackets per account)

You are encouraged to complete multiple brackets and increase your donation (and your chances to win!)

Please spread the word, and share the link to THIS PAGE with family, friends and colleagues, so that they will also have the opportunity to have fun tracking their brackets and giving to a good cause. The more people that sign up - the more money we raise for Rotary - and the larger the winner's prize!
