March Madness for Kenya! (Tourney bracket challenge)

The last 2 years on renown we've had a bracket challenge for the NCAA Tournament. Of course we're going to have another bracket challenge. But this year's will be a little different.

Yesterday I wrote about Crystal and I going to Kenya! You can catch up on that HERE.

This year on renown's tournament challenge you won't only be filling out your brackets for bragging rights but also to help Crystal and I go to Kenya! So when you join the renown group and fill out your bracket you can feel free to donate some money to help Crystal and I get to Kenya!
You can donate $0 to whatever... just have fun!

Here's how you join:
Go to ESPN and join the Tournament Challenge by simply clicking HERE. (You can sign up for a free ESPN account if you don't already have one.) All you have to do is fill out the registration and then submit it. click the big button in the middle that says Create Entry. Name your entry (that will be your bracket) and click on Create or Join a Group.

Ok, now's the fun part - in the Search box type march madness for Kenya - that's our group name. you should see a pic of kids in Kenya (as seen to your right). Then you need to type in the group password = kenya  

Then you're all ready to go. Now you just have to fill out your picks for each game. Flip a quarter or use all your expertise to pick who will win each game. Fill out as many brackets as you want!

ESPN keeps track of all our points for us, so at the end of the NCAA tourney we'll know who won our tourney. Feel free to invite anyone you know. I think you just need to fill them out by Thursday morning this week. We'll have a lot of fun watching the games and our picks over the next few weeks. 

*If you want to fill out a bracket and donate to our trip - you can send a tax deductible gift to Ridge Church. Just mail the check to PO Box 1853 Indian Trail, NC 28079

**Don't write our name in the "memo" line of the check. Just put a note with the check that says it's for "Patrick & Crystal's mission trip to Kenya" or something like that!

The whole trip for the 2 of us will cost over $7,000. I'm kicking in $100 to the "Patrick & Crystal Kenya fund" as I joined just now, but remember, feel free to donate anything between $0 to whatever!

Ok, the selection show is about to start, so I've gotta run watch it!
