CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST 

The top 2 teams (announced 3/25 by 10am) will then compete over the weekend (March 25 & 26 & 27 until 9pm) for the Championship.  Continue to check our website link for updates. There will be a new cleared scoreboard for the Championship game and teams will track new minutes and donations for the Championship.   The Championship School Team will be announced March 28th by 12pm. 

Every 30 minutes & every $25 donated = 1 point 

***  Please be sure to be honest when logging your minutes and if you have not already, please consider collecting a donation to help your team win!

Remember : All readers are still eligible for all their prize incentives so keep reading. The Top 4 teams will earn a literacy grant (amount differs depending on the bracket). Please be sure to have a school team representative available to attend our Charity Basketball game on Saturday April 1st at 4:30pm to receive the grant at half time. This is a picture worthy moment and we can’t wait!!
