The Madness ends happily ever after. Unless you're a bulldog.

The Butler Bulldogs may have let me down, but our friends and family were definitely the heroes in this year's March Madness!

First off, thank you to everyone who participated in "Brackets for Boobies" ! We had 59 people sign up, and with an extra entry from a friend, we had a total of 60 "players" in the pool.

I haven't had this much fun watching athletics in a long time... The entire March Madness experience was quite entertaining (and maddening at times), and provided great "water cooler" fodder for weeks. I wasn't really in the running (I think the highest I ever made it was around 10th place, and I finished in 28th), but having someone to root for each game was a blast.

And in true March Madness spirit, the winner of this year's festivities started out in last place. In fact, she posted her dismay at her early standings on Facebook:


Just a few short weeks later, and she's our grand prize winner, bringing in $300! And in true Kyersten fashion, she was a sweetheart and donated a portion of her proceeds back to the Susan G Komen 3-Day for the Cure!

When all was said and done, we raised $400 for the 3-Day walk.

Thank you again for all of your support -- whether it's a donation you've made, an event you came to, an activity you participated in, or our blogs that you're reading, thank you for the support. We could not possibly do it without you.
