March Madness...The Big Dance....The Road to the Final Four. Hey, cliche boy, give it a rest!Whatever you choose to call the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, one thing is for certain. Being in an office pool makes it even more fun. Especially for the kids, who can learn valuable gambling skills at an early age.
But just like the last few years, this pool is a little different. Instead of the traditional office pool where the winner takes the spoils, all money collected ($5 entry fee, more if you are feeling generous) will go to the charity of choice for the pool's winner (see the rules section for further information on this).
This is the fifth year the pool has been "winner's choice" charity, and thus far we have donated more than $2,000 to Orphans of Rwanda (now called Generation Rwanda), St. Christopher's Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and St. Jude's Hospital. Last year we gave a $575 donation to The GiveLove Foundation, a project to rebuild communities after the earthquake in Haiti. I am extremely proud of these donations, and you should be too.
As in past years, you can make your selections for the Big Dance right on the site, and follow your progress either on the site or by reading the frequent Email updates. If you don't feel like using PayPal and didn't get my address from the original Email, send me an Email to request the address to send your payment.
Once you've submitted your picks and paid your entry fee, bookmark this page and come back throughout the tournament to find out how you're doing in the pool. It will be updated after each night's games, so check regularly. But hey, enough a my yakkin'. Let's Dance!

I mean, people are starting to talk. Between you and me, does anyone ever read this legal stuff anyway? I'll let you in on a little secret. There is no pool. I made it up, and I'm keeping all the money. Yup, at five bucks a pop, I figure by the time the teams make it to the Final Four in Houston, I'll be on the beach, $25 richer. That's right, suckers, Bernie Madoff taught me everything I know. But hey, don't tell, OK? I was just kidding about the outfit.
