Camoin Associates is proud to sponsor the 11th Annual Bollinger Foundation Bracket Challenge this year. The challenge is a fun way to enjoy this year’s NCAA men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments while raising money for a worthy cause and competing to win cash prizes.


Last year, the bracket challenge raised $10,000 for The Bollinger Foundation, which funds grants for the education and support of children who have lost one or more parents with a focus on families where either parent previously or currently works in economic development, community development, or housing-related fields.


More information about how to participate in this year’s bracket challenge will be sent to subscribers soon. We hope you’ll join us for this great FUNdraiser!
