ADF March Madness!
Intimidated by filling out a bracket? Tired of having one upset ruin your chance at a payout? Come join our March Madness Squares pool! Like a Super Bowls squares pool, you don’t need any knowledge of the game to win. Select your square(s) and have 63 chances at winning some sweet, sweet cash.
Once all the squares are filled, we’ll randomize the grid. Each square gets two numbers - one for the winning team and one for the losing. This represents the last digit of the final score. If your numbers are 2-0 and the final score is Syracuse 72 and Georgetown 70, you win! If the next game is Duke 82 and UNC 70, you win again!
Squares are $100 each. $25 goes as a donation to ADF and the other $75 goes into the pot, making our total purse $7,500! Payouts for each game are:
First round (not play-in games) - $25/game
Second round - $100/game
Third Round (Sweet Sixteen) - $200/game
Fourth Round (Elite Eight) - $300/game
Fifth Round (Final Four) - $500/game
Final Game - $1,300

KidneyCAN's Spring Advocacy Days - March 11th & 12th
ADF is partnering with KidneyCAN and several organizations to rally delegates from all over the United States, advocating for kidney cancer research funding. We need delegates - patients, caregivers, doctors, researchers, anyone who is affected by kidney cancer - to tell Congress about the impact the disease on their lives and the need for research funding.
No experience necessary. KidneyCAN provides training and a playbook for the event.
Email Joann at Joann@andyderrfoundation.org to learn more.
