Presenting sponsor Stanley Black & Decker brings fundraising contest to Hartford nonprofits
Calling all Greater Hartford-area nonprofits: Brackets For Good, challenges you to a friendly competition and a chance to win $10,000!
Indianapolis-based non-profit Brackets For Good hosts online, bracket-style fundraising tournaments every March in communities around the United States. Participating nonprofits rally enthusiastic donors to out-fundraise their opponents in order to advance. Through the excitement, localized marketing, and corporate involvement, nonprofits earn increased exposure, gain access to free fundraising tools, and are introduced to new donors.
Brackets For Good has raised more than $2.75 million for local charities since 2012. Due to this overwhelming success and popularity, the tournaments have expanded from Indianapolis to Louisville, Ann Arbor, St. Louis, and Twin Cities. This year, we are excited to continue growth into several other markets including Hartford, Cincinnati, Miami, Denver, Nashville, and Baltimore.
To participate, charities in the Greater Hartford-area and the surrounding towns can register free at https://hartford.bfg.org/city by Oct. 28, 2016. Fourteen Hartford-area nonprofits have already registered to be considered to play in the 2017 tournament, which begins Feb. 24.
The Brackets For Good tournament in Hartford is made possible by the support of local businesses dedicated to the community.
“Stanley Black & Decker is committed to building a better tomorrow,” said Tim Perra, Stanley Black & Decker, Vice President of Communications. “It’s not just the homes we help build with our tools, or the schools we protect with our security systems. It’s also a commitment to stepping up and bettering our local community, which has been an important part of our culture for nearly 175 years. Partnering with Brackets For Good is a fun and impactful way we can support 64 organizations that are serving the Hartford community.”
Brackets For Good 2017 Hartford sponsors include: Stanley Black & Decker, Lids, and Bloomerang.
“Brackets For Good exists because we believe that communities are strengthened when more people learn about and support local organizations that operate in service to the community,” said Reid McDowell, Partnerships & Marketing Director of Brackets For Good. “In both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, it’s clear that Hartford organizations are dedicated to the strength and health of their community. This dedication to the community is what drove us to expand to Hartford. I’m looking forward to a fun and impactful March.”
