12th Annual March Madness Pool

4/7/2014

0 Comments

 
The Peter French Memorial March Madness Pool was once again a huge success! As hard as it is to believe, this was the 12th edition of the annual event, which serves both as an opportunity to win some money and as a fundraiser. Each year, half of the money goes to the pool winners and the other half goes to the Peter French Memorial Foundation. The pool's popularity and success have increased each year, and we were thrilled that this year was the biggest yet, with 373 members!

A record 443 brackets were submitted for the Original Pool, and Matt Colangelo was the big winner with his $1,000 1st place finish (also finishing in the money were Tom Ribadeneyra, Patrick Ariniello, Betsy Kean, Tim Ribadeneyra, Steve Wolbrom, Kristin Volz, and Nick Burke). 293 brackets were entered for the Sweet 16 Pool (also a record), and Patrick Ulacco took home the top prize of $510 (followed by Randy Kessler, Dan Smith, a 2nd Patrick Ulacco submission, and Matt Groom). Congrats to Matt and Patrick, all the other pool winners, and the UConn Huskies! Check out the pool website for complete standings -

At the end of the day, the pool raised over $5,000 for Peter's foundation. An enormous thank you to everyone who participated in the pool, helped recruit people, or simply supported the cause. We hope you'll all consider participating in March 2015, when the madness begins all over again!
