Music Downloads and Sweepstakes Game Cards… a winning combination!
To raise money, you sell CharityMania Tickets for $ and keep % of the money you collect. Ticket holders receive a great collection of digital music downloads (read why the music is important for this fundraiser), and they are entered into the HoopsMania sweepstakes where they can win $1000s in cash prizes based on the results of the basketball teams printed on their sweepstakes game cards.

The Sweepstakes Game Card... the Fundraiser’s "Secret Sauce"
Each HoopsMania game cards contain 8 random college basketball teams that will play in the tournament (you get 2 teams from each region). All cards have seeds 1 through 8 printed on them so everyone has an equal chance of winning. During the basketball tournament, participants simply add up the points scored by the teams printed on their game card. Prizes are awarded to the 45 game cards whose teams score the most total combined points throughout the tournament. In addition, the 4 cards with the lowest total points scored also win! Watch our short video for the best explanation of the game.

Throughout the HoopsMania sweepstakes, participants can track the progress of their game cards on the CharityMania website (or with our convenient iPhone app or by email). There are 49 chances to win a prize and 1,440 unique tickets, each of which has an equal 1 in 29.4 chance to win a prize.

At the end of the basketball tournament, CharityMania determines the winning game cards. We then send you the prize money so that you can send it to the winners with a personalized letter thanking them for their support. CharityMania also posts the winning game card numbers on the web site so that participants can see if they’ve won.If your organization wants more winners, we also offer an optional Guaranteed Winners Program that will award a prize to your organization’s highest scoring card.

To raise money, you sell paper or electronic CharityMania tickets (or both). We sell the paper tickets for 15¢ per ticket plus shipping and a $10 handling fee per order. You can purchase as many paper tickets as you need, and they are delivered within about 5-10 business days.
