Who:
Indianapolis-based Brackets For Good pairs with corporate and nonprofit sponsors to host online, bracket-style fundraising tournaments in philanthropic communities around the United States each March. Participating nonprofit organizations compete to out-fundraise their opponents, earn increased exposure, and have a chance to win $10,000 from generous corporate sponsors. Nonprofits keep 100 percent of donations received during tournament play; no matter how many rounds they last.

What:
Brackets For Good has helped raise more than $1.3 million for local charities since its 2012 kick-off contest in Indianapolis. After expanding from the Indianapolis area to the Louisville, Ky., area in 2015, Brackets For Good is proud to announce the addition of three new markets and their surrounding areas in 2016: Minneapolis and surrounding areas, Ann Arbor, Mich., and surrounding areas, and St. Louis and surrounding areas. Each market will host a pep rally in February ahead of the launch of the online tournament to kick off the excitement and announce pairings for round one.
