2014 MARCH MADNESS SPONSORS:
Gather your basketball knowledge and your checkbook and meet supporters of UrbanFUTURE on TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 2014 at the Missouri Athletic Club Downtown for the 4th annual UrbanFUTURE March Madness Charity Challenge. With OVER $10,000 IN PRIZES up for grabs, this event is a charity event unlike any other, and not to be missed by sports fans gearing up for the NCAA basketball tournament.
WHAT TO SHOOT FOR: Top prizes for the event include $1,000+ gift cards; weekend sports experiences with Mizzou, Notre Dame, Cardinals, Rams, and Blues; travel packages; and plenty of other prizes appealing to a diverse mix of sports fans. A few of our featured auction items include:
SPECIAL GUEST: Our auction emcee will again be St. Louis sports icon
ZIP RZEPPA
Zip became a popular nightly television sportscaster, first at KTVI-TV Channel 2, and then at KMOV-TV Channel 4. His weekly “Zippo Awards” entertained local audiences on a weekly basis for 17 years.
HOW IT WORKS: Doors open at 6:30 pm and your $50 admission donation includes your drinks and appetizers for the evening. The “main event” of the Challenge is an auction of the 64 NCAA men’s basketball teams whereby individuals, or groups of individuals, can bid on each of the teams. Event attendees also have the opportunity to partake in bracket pools, door entry prizes and other games that yield significant prizes all for the benefit of UrbanFUTURE’s students. Even if the auction is something you do not want to participate in, we still encourage you to come and experience the event and support this wonderful cause.
Whether you’re supporting UrbanFUTURE, you’re jockeying for bragging rights for your alma mater or you’re crazy about March Madness, this event is a can’t-miss experience for you and your friends.
We look forward to seeing you on March 18!
Join us in supporting UrbanFUTURE by attending the March Madness Charity Auction. Proceeds from the event will help fund mentoring, tutoring and career exploration programs that provide 6th - 8th grade students an opportunity to prepare for success in high school and beyond, restoring the collaboration between the home, school and the community. Together we can eliminate the academic achievement gap and help urban youth see and believe in their possibilities.
