It’s March Madness time and you could win up to $1,000! This year March Madness can make a difference with your help. You know what is madness? Not storming the court after a Cinderella story knocks out a giant. It is realizing that there are hundreds of high school athletes that miss out on opportunities because they don’t have the financial means to attend events. Madness is understanding that youth players from inner cities don’t have the proper equipment to play the game safely.
The Future Stars Series Foundation exists to stop the madness. We want to provide access to programming and events by eliminating financial barriers to entry. This past season were able to help several players gain access to events that otherwise they would never be able to attend. As a result, many of those players are now committed to college programs and will have a college education paid for. As an organization we worked with various MLB Youth Academies to ensure players would have shoes that fit and baseball pants to wear by making considerable donations directly to those families. We need your help to continue to be able to provide ways to stop the madness.
The Future Stars Series Foundation Bracket Challenge is the way you and your friends and family can help.
Cost per bracket: $20 – CLICK TO REGISTER AND DONATE – Upon completing the $20 tax deductible donation you will receive an e-mail with the Group name and code to join the ESPN Bracket Challenge
