A competitive, bracket-style format with custom-themed donation pages for all participating agencies.
- Think Giving Day, but BIGGER, extending beyond just local competition.
- Instead of donors spreading themselves too thin among multiple local organizations on one day, our tournament streamlines giving by focusing on rallying behind local BBBS organizations. This fosters community bonds and pride with a fun “City vs. City” competition.
- This encourages larger, concentrated donations, directly benefiting each BBBS chapter.
→ BBBS agencies are invited to compete head-to-head in an online, bracket-style fundraising tournament, updated in real-time!
→ Agencies secure new donations each round through their custom fundraising pages. The winning agency from each round advances until one winner remains.
→ Each round, agencies share their team page via social media, email, text, and their website! A live running tally keeps things exciting!
→ Previous round donors can easily be re-engaged each round thanks to the simple messaging tools provided.
→ All donors receive automatic tax receipts.
- Open to all BBBS agencies around the country.
- Joining the tournament is straightforward with no upfront costs.
- Teams submit necessary documentation to participate.
- Participating agencies retain 85% of the funds raised through their personal earnings each round.
- Each agency keeps the donations they secure each round, minus 15% taken off the event total for winner bonuses and administrative costs.
- All agencies maintain full access to and ownership of their own donor list brought in by the event.
- The Tournament Host Agency will never claim or contact your donors.
- Digital incentives keep engagement high throughout the tournament.
- Every donation is acknowledged with the donor’s name featured on the team page, enhancing recognition.
- Donors can choose to upload a tribute photo or logo with their donation, which is transformed into themed trading cards, adding a personal touch to the donation experience.

Our tournament fuels competition and rewards effort and success. With sufficient participation, we introduce power hours sponsored by our partners.
Teams that excel during these power hours earn additional prize money.
Random donors contributing during power hours also stand a chance to win products from our sponsors, boosting giving motivation.
Donation page links will change each round and will be sent to you via email at the end of each. You will also be able to find your updated team page link on the main website.
You will be sent a link at the end of each round with:
– Update if your team is progressing to the next round
– Link to your updated team page for the next round
Donation pages will remain active continuously, featuring clear notifications to inform your donors that only contributions made during specific round timings will be counted towards the competition. This approach ensures that your organization never misses out on potential donations, regardless of the timing, by keeping the donation channels open at all times.
