2024 Bollinger Foundation NCAA Basketball March Madness Bracket Challenge

Have Fun Supporting a Great Cause!

Do you love college basketball?

Would you like to help the children of community and economic development and housing professionals after a devastating loss?

Join our 10^th annual NCAA Basketball March Madness Bracket Challenge fundraiser during this year's college basketball tournaments in support of The Bollinger Foundation!

The Bollinger Foundation raises money for the education and support of children who have lost one or both parents, with priority given to families in which either the deceased or surviving parent works in the community development, economic development, or housing fields. Learn more.

Last year, we raised almost $6,000 for The Bollinger Foundation! This year, our goal is to raise $10,000 but we can’t do it without you!
