March Madness Bracket Challenge

March Madness is almost here, and this year, your bracket can make a real difference for Let Me Run!

We invite all Let Me Run families, coaches, and supporters to join the Let Me Run March Madness Bracket Challenge — a fun and friendly way to support scholarships and programming while enjoying the excitement of the tournament.

Every bracket purchased directly benefits Let Me Run boys by funding scholarships and strengthening the programs that help them thrive. Together, we can turn tournament excitement into meaningful impact for our community.

Feel free to share this link or letter with your friends and family. You do not have to be a Let Me Run family to participate!

Why buy a Let Me Run bracket? Besides supporting a great cause, the winner will receive a minimum of $50 Amazon Gift Card. After 20 or more brackets are sold, 20% of the prize pool is paid out (distributed evenly amongst the winners). All proceeds benefit Let Me Run scholarships and programming.

Bracket sales close by 9:00 AM ET on March 19th.

Thank you for supporting Let Me Run, and good luck with your bracket!
