Breeders Crown Charity Challenge
The Breeders Crown Charity Challenge was conceived to create positive relationships with the local community, raise awareness, and fund local charities. The Challenge has already raised over $1.5 Million to date!
The Challenge, which runs August 30 – October 19, consists of four teams which compete throughout the fall to raise money for their team charity. Teams compete by earning points through various Challenge events and fan voting. The team with the most points at the end of the Challenge will receive 40% of the total money donated to their team charity; the other three charities will receive 25%, 17.5% and 17.5% respectively. Join in on the fun by voting daily for your favorite team!
Vote to Help Your Favorite Team Win
We encourage fans, charity participants, and everyone in between, to vote each day of the challenge for their favorite team. The Team with the most votes at the end of the Challenge will receive an additional 100 points; 2nd place will receive 75 points; 3rd place will receive 50 points, and 4th place will receive 25 points. Be sure to press the “Vote Now” button after making your selection.
