What's this about?

Our church gave out $25,000 to its members last month in small increments of $5, $10, $20. My son and I were in attendance. Combined we received $15. The concept is to pray over how to use God's money...The money is to be used outside of the walls of the church--to be the Church.

Our idea is to invest our $15 to pay the paypal fees to manage a NCAA bracket pool.

100% of the proceeds of this tournament pool will go to SCORE International to help provide food, clothes and basic necessities for the children.

My husband and I visited the Dominican Republic last May on a short-term mission trip through SCORE International ( http://www.scoreinternational.org/ ) and spent time volunteering in an orphanage where SCORE sponsors the orphans to help provide for their basic needs.

Please make your bracket selections go for the Big Win this year ---helping others!

Here's a slide show from our visit to the Dominican Republic with Score International earlier this year.
