Let’s play ball! (Well… let’s watch some incredible college athletes play ball.) Join us for the NCAA Tournament Grid Game — a fun way to stay engaged in every matchup, even if your favorite team doesn’t make it past the first round.

Make this March Madness even more exciting while supporting a great cause. The KRPA Scholarship Fund creates opportunities for parks and recreation professionals across Kansas — and when you play, you’re helping invest in the future of our field.

Bonus: You could win cash prizes along the way.

How It Works:

1️⃣ Claim Your Square – A $20 donation secures a square on our NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament grid. Once you donate, your name is placed on the grid. Here's an example grid:

2️⃣ Numbers Are Assigned Randomly – After all 100 squares are sold, the numbers 0-9 will be randomly assigned to the rows and columns of the grid. These numbers determine the winners for each game based on the final score!

3️⃣ Win on Every Game – Your square is eligible to win in all 67 tournament games! The winning square is determined by the last digit of each team's final score. For example, if the final score is 79-76, the winner would be the square corresponding to Winner-9 and Loser-6.

(Here's an example from a previous year's board- if the final game score is 79-76, then the winner is Betty Zeka with the square Winner-9 and Loser-6 (see below image). An important note to make is that only the last number of the scores are considered, so if the winner's score is 4, 14, 24, 34, 44, 54, or so on, it means the Winner Line is 4.)
