2017 March Charity Madness Every year, Crest Foods customers are selected to participate in a special March Madness competition focused on charitable giving. Each of the 64 customer teams is assigned a seed at random with the goal of making it to the final four so the charity of their choice can receive a donation from Crest in their honor. One wild card team is also drawn at random for an additional charitable donation. Below are the charities benefiting this year.
