Last year we raised almost $3,000 for the Care&Share organization and purchased the trailer (pictured here) to bring fresh drinking water to these children in India. We say Thank You to all in the industry who supported us in this cause!

And this year, AirPlus International, Inc. is at it again – although we’ve upped the stakes!  This year’s winner of our online tournament will receive a new iPad (32GB with WiFi)!

And, AirPlus will donate a further $1,000 when our fundraising goal of $2,500 is met!  Join us in the fun, as we "game for a cause" - the children in Vijayawada region of India through the Care&Share organization!

 To join:

1.   Click on the green DONATE button below. (No donation is too small or too large!)  All donations are secure and will be sent directly to Care&Share by FirstGiving. A printable receipt of your donation will be e-mailed to you directly.

2.   Include your e-mail address when donating.  Richard Crum (CBS Sports Bracket Manager & the President of AirPlus in the USA) will then e-mail you with the simple directions and password to sign-in to our online tournament and pick your bracket winners online. The deadline to join & enter your picks for this online tournament is 5pm (Eastern time zone) on Wednesday, 16 March 2011.  However, there is no deadline for donating.

The FirstGiving online fundraising platform is used in conjunction with the NCAA March Madness basketball bracket challenge (hosted online by CBSSports.com).  As in the previous year, 100% of the funds raised this year will be donated directly to Care&Share http://www.careshareindia.org/.  No donation is required to participate.

And finally, congratulations to last year’s winner (of an 8MB High-definition video flip camera) Mr. Matthew Talbot. Visit http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/richard-crum/marchmadnessairplus2010 for a look at last year's fundraising efforts!
