It's time for the Camp Wa Wa Segowea "Segowea 65"!

It's time! The 3rd Annual Segowea 65 NCAA Basketball Tournament is taking place beginning later today (Sunday March 13th).


What is it? Well it's March Madness time and it's a chance for you to be involved in helping send a child to camp and having a little fun at the same time. You make selections on who you think will win the NCAA March Madness College Basketball Tournament and have a chance at winning some prizes. Encourage others to participate because the more people that play, the larger the pot! Even if you don't follow College Basketball, it's still a lot of fun.

1st Place prize is 10% of the pot.

2nd place is 7% of the pot.

3rd place is 5% of the pot.

With 2% going to Paypal, that leaves 76% going towards sending kids to Camp Segowea!


YMCA Camp Wa Wa Segowea has long been a place for kids with diverse socio-economic, cultural and religious background. You can help fill the camp with kids this summer, simply by making the donation and having some fun!

Step One: Make the donation to paypal. ($15 per bracket- play as many brackets as you'd like!) You go to friendsofsegowea.org and log in to paypal from there.

Step Two- When the donation is made, it will bring you to a confirmation page where you go to submit your bracket. (We're using the CBS Sports bracket manager) You will also receive a confirmation email which contains your log-in information to the bracket manager.

Step Three- Follow along on the bracket manager to see how you're doing and how the competition is doing!

The selections for the pairings are made tonight and will be downloaded to the CBS Bracket Manager, no later than midnight tonight. You then have until Noon on Tuesday to make your selections. If you make your selections early and then change your mind, you can change your picks right up until the deadline of noon on Tuesday. If you have any questions, please contact the organizer of this- Josh Perks at josh@friendsofsegowea.org.

You can also get all the details on the Friends of Segowea website- www.friendsofsegowea.org.

This is the third year we have done this and each year gets more donations. We're trying to send as many kids to camp as possible this year and encourage all to participate.

So until the Box Ball or Four Square tournament doesn't get as much attention as March Madness (yet), why not participate in the Segowea 65?
