NAPLES, Fla. - Floridant -- College basketball fans and bracketologists are invited to enter the 2023 March Madness Bracket Challenge, a professionally run NCAA Tournament pool that raises money for programs benefiting local children in foster care.
The Guardian ad Litem Foundation, 20th Judicial Circuit, is hosting its 6th annual March Madness Bracket Challenge to help raise money for its Children's Needs Program, which provides funding for "extras" like birthday parties, tutoring, summer camp programs, movie tickets and registration fees for clubs and sports. Funds also support Beds for Kids, a program that provides bed frames, mattresses, pillows, linens and stuffed animals so caregivers can provide a safe, comfortable home for children. The Foundation supports court-appointed volunteer child advocates who represent children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned as they navigate the judicial, education and child welfare systems. The foundation represents children in Collier, Lee, Charlotte, Hendry and Glades counties.
