First Tee – Minnesota is thrilled to announce our 16th annual March Madness Kickoff Celebration. This unique bowling extravaganza combines speed (perhaps more than skill), NCAA bracketology, Masters prognostication, luck, and—most importantly—an abundance of action-packed fun!
As the 2024 golf season gets underway, this is a great way for families, coaches, volunteers, and supporters to come together, learn more about our exciting plans for 2024, and explore ways to be involved as we expand the First Tee Community in Minnesota.
When you register below, you can sign up individually or up to 6 bowlers per team. The $100 per person price includes food, drinks, gift bag, a silent auction, bowling, fun, and good company! $50 of each ticket is tax-deductible.
Not Your Parents March Madness Brackets
Timed with Selection Sunday of the NCAA Tournament, the evening will kickoff with food, refreshments, an overview of the rules, and time to pick up your fancy bowling shoes. Like the Indy 500 (yet another sports analogy), there will be a “Start your engines!” moment and then the bowling begins!
Unlike typical NCAA brackets, in this competition you have to earn your pick. When you or your teammate rolls a strike, head to the Bracket Board Central (aka BBC) to select the best NCAA team still available. After all 64 NCAA teams are chosen, we move on to the Masters board. Confused? It will all make perfect sense when we see you on March 17!
Date: Sunday, March 17, 2024
Time: 5:30 PM to 8 PM (This event is less talk and more action! You’ll be out at 8 PM. We promise!)
Place: Pinstripes in Edina, 3849 Gallagher Drive, Edina 55435
