Annually during the month of November, Rancocas Valley FBLA hosts their "Buckets 4 Babies" basketball tournament. The double elimination tournament was extremely successful. Using the $200 March of Dimes grant we had been awarded the 1st year, we raised over $700 through registration fees, ticket sales, and concessions. During the 2nd tournament in 2021, the chapter raised over $1,000 to donate to the cause. We publicized the event through social media and in our school using flyers and videos in the morning announcements. March of Dimes representativeEd O'Malley delivered a speech at half time. This year, the tournament reached even greater heights. After all was said and done, we raised a total of $1,725 dollars to donate to the March of Dimes fundraiser. The tournament not only raised money for the March of Dimes organization but awareness about prematurity in our school and community. "Buckets 4 Babies is not only a staple of RVFBLA, but it is also a staple of Rancocas Valley tradition.
