If you love college hoops, local impact, and the chance to win some seriously cool prizes, this one needs to be on your calendar.

On Thursday, March 19th, head to Kardinal Hall from 11:30am to 6:30pm for Abundant Life Ministries’ NCAA Tournament Kickoff Watch Party, presented by Flow Toyota of Charlottesville.

Abundant Life Ministries is celebrating 30 years of serving the Prospect Avenue community, and this event turns game day into a fundraiser that actually makes a difference right here in Charlottesville.

Here’s how it works:
You grab your raffle tickets, pick who you think will win each game, and if your team takes it, you’re in the drawing for prizes. Two winners for every game. Plus multiple grand prize drawings throughout the day. You can win more than once.

Prize lineup includes:
🚲 $600 Blue Ridge Cyclery gift card
💐 $100 Bloom Floral Design bouquet
🍽️ $50 Dairy Market gift card
… and more.

Swing by for food, drinks, hoops, and friendly competition. Every bracket pick helps support Abundant Life’s mission.
