We would like to offer a sincere thank you to everyone who helped us in our Brackets for Good quest.
Overall we raised over $35,600, with about $20,000 of that going back to IndianaFIRST teams. There was a total of 362 donations made over the course of 5 weeks. We don't have the numbers for what each individual team earned, but we hope to have that data out in the next couple days.
Through our participation in Brackets for Good, we had many networking and PR opportunities to help spread awareness of our program. On Tuesday, our Executive Director Renee Becker-Blau gave a great elevator speech about FIRST on IndyStyle, a local television news program. Check out her one minute of fame here:

We hope that our success in participating in this program encourages other local nonprofit status FIRST organizations to apply to be part of the Brackets for Good tournaments next year.
