Welcome to the 8th Annual HOOPS & WISHES tournament in support of Make-A-Wish® Central and Western North Carolina! Each year our goal is to raise more than $7,500 - enough to fund a wish for a deserving child and his/her family. Last year we raised enough money for 2 wishes. Let's do it again!
Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. If you do nothing else, please watch this video. Wish experiences are so meaningful to the Wish Kids and their families. It is easy to help, and fun too.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
For every $100 you contribute directly to Make-A-Wish via this website, you'll receive 1 entry bracket in an NCAA Tournament contest that I have set up on ESPN.com's Tournament Challenge website. Our hope is that many of you are able to contribute more than 1 bracket...but please know that every bracket helps. You'll receive a tax receipt directly from Make-A-Wish, and I will also be notified that you donated. I'll then email you the ESPN group entry information so that you can complete your bracket(s). It's very easy to enter.
The winner will earn bragging rights and receive a winner's plaque commemorating your generosity, as well as your superiority over the other entrants. Please help by contributing any amount you can - $100, $200, $500 or even more. I'm always amazed by your generosity. Every dollar you donate can help Make-A-Wish kids renew their courage and find a turning point in their lives.
