March Madness: SLAM DUNK for Charity!
For a fourth year, we held a customer pool for charity during the NCAA Basketball Tournament this March. This year we were able to help customers donate $4,000 towards their worthy causes. HOW THE CONTEST WORKS: We assign customers or groups of people at a customer location to a bracket spot. When pairings come out on Selection Sunday… they have their team to root for. If the team places in the top four, they get to pick a charity of their choice to donate to. We also throw in a “wild card” winner. THIS YEAR: Our theme was “Slam Dunk for Charity!” Each person participating was sent a Dunkin’ Donuts gift card as a “thank you” for playing in our contest. The winners are…
1st …$1,500 WINNER: Mitch Karlin at Karlin Foods TEAM: Duke CHARITY CHOICE: Ashton area tornado relief for the victims effected by the April 9, 2015 tornado.
