jabin's march madness charity pool

Quick start --> Fill out bracket -- make donation at gofundme site

Whatever you choose to call it -- March Madness ... The Big Dance ... The Road to the Final Four -- there is really nothing quite like the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.  And being in an office pool has become a part of the fabric of march.

But this pool is a little different.

Instead of the traditional office pool, where the winner gets the money, our champion at the end of this Madness that is March gets the honor of selecting a charity to donate the entire pot. Since this pool moved to full charity mode about a decade ago, we have given more than $25,000 to some wonderful organizations, including Generation Rwanda, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, the GiveLoveFoundation, Mighty Writers of Philadelphia, Partners in Health, The Live Like Blaine Foundation, A Mother’s Wish Foundation, SNARR Northeast, and last year’s recipient, The Wounded Warriors Project.

You can make your selections and pay your donation right here at the site (via GoFundMe), and then follow the action with updates after each round over Email. If paying online doesn't float your boat, you can still do it the old fashioned way. Just send me a note to request a mailing address to send payment via check. Each bracket is $5 minimum, but remember it's for charity, so you are encouraged to dig deep and give more if you can. My goal this year is $2,500 for the total donation, so I thank you in advance for your help in getting there.

Also, when you fill out a bracket, please take note of the tradition in Jabin’s March Madness Charity Pool to get, let’s say, creative with your bracket name. I don’t know about you, but I get more than a few chuckles each year with the funny names people come up with for their bracket. Keep ‘em coming.

Let me know here if you have any questions.  Please help spread the word by inviting your friends, and let's have some fun and do some good.  Enough of my yakkin', let's Dance!!!

Not that it's any of my business, but I'd rethink that outfit if I were you. I mean, people are starting to talk. Between you and me, does anyone ever read this legal stuff anyway? I'll let you in on a little secret. There is no pool. I made it up, and I'm keeping all the money. Yup, at five bucks a pop, I figure by the time the teams make it to the Final Four, I'll be on the beach, $25 richer. That's right, suckers, Bernie Madoff taught me everything I know. But hey, don't tell, OK? I was just kidding about the outfit.

Care to download some mood music while you fill out your bracket? (.wav format). Or click below to watch the Master at work. Is there anyone funnier during March Madness than Sir Charles? I have named this version as the “Official Anthem” of Jabin’s March Madness Charity Pool.

Charles Barkley sings

The Melliflous tones of Sir Charles can only mean one thing - March Madness is here, baby!!!
