Selection Sunday-2013!

Everyone,

Make March Madness matter AGAIN by playing our 4th Annual Hope through Hoops bracket pool---100% of the proceeds go to orphan sponsorships in the Dominican Republic. We will be sponsoring through a new orphanage this year still in the DR. The orrphanage is run by SCORE International based in Chattanooga, TN. All the details and the simple rules are included just above.

Even if you don't really care about college basketball, then just pick teams for fun or just donate minimum $10 and show your support of these children who need you! Yes, they need us. It takes about 40 bracket entries to sponsor an orphan for a year. Enter as many brackets as you'd like and please forward this message to your family, friends, FB friends,Tweet, Retweet etc.

So simple.... all while we huddle around HDTVs and track the games on our smartphones.....this is the pool to play to make March Madness matter! We use the CBS bracket manager. See details above to get started.

Thanks,
Stephanie and Jay

P.S. Thank you for all of your prayers for Cristina over this last year. Did you know? Cristina was the first orphan we sponsored when we started this bracket challenge in 2010. Now, she lives with us as she progresses in her studies and now knows the love of a family. As many of you know, she is thriving socially, academically and even playing softball on her first-ever organized sports team. Most importantly, her faith is strong as the Lord has continued to provide for her life. Thank to all of our family, friends, faith communities for walking along side us and encouraging her.
