Questions?

-How will winners be announced?

Bracket winners will be announced during our virtual cocktail making event with High Bank Distillery Company on Friday, April 16th, 2021 from 8-10 p.m. We will have the ability of shipping cocktail kits to you anywhere in the U.S. (excluding AZ and CA). If you would prefer to shop locally, we can send you a shopping list the week prior to the cocktail making event. We will also have a silent online auction with 100% of proceeds towards you helping families create memories together during their cancer fight. We are excited to celebrate with YOU the inaugural playroom opening at the cocktail making event. We will post more information about the virtual event in the coming weeks.

-Can I just do bracketology and not cocktail making? Absolutely! Winners do not have to be present at the cocktail making class.

-Can I do cocktail making but not bracketology? Absolutely! We would love to have you learn something new, celebrate the inaugural playroom opening and have fun virtually.

-Can I just make a donation? Absolutely! We wouldn't be able to help open the playrooms or provide resources to families fighting life-threatening illnesses without YOU. Our EIN is 83-2183884 with a mailing address of P.O. Box 952, 597 High Street, Worthington, OH 43085 if you want to mail a donation.
