What's it Cost?

The Bracket Fee is $10 (per bracket) which will be added to the prize money.

However, we’re also asking for a donation in addition to your bracket fee. The donation (per bracket) can be whatever you can afford. $10 would be great, more would be awesome!

The payment you submit should be the bracket fee ($10) plus whatever amount you’d like to donate. Please total your bracket fees and donations when submitting your payment.

The truth is, we need more financial help to sustain our scholarship fund and our mission of support and assistance to those in need. Please see our mission statement.  Thank you for your generosity and willingness to help this wonderful cause.
