In preparation for the 2025 Shift Summer Camp, March Gladness is a family event designed to unite the local NDCBF communities along with outside communities for fun fellowship through great food, basketball, and games. Our vision is for all proceeds from March Gladness to help make our Shift Summer Camp more affordable for NDCBF families.

This year's March Gladness will offer 2 types of basketball competitions you can participate in: 3v3 Sudden Death and Shoot Outs. There will also be a Family Obstacle Course for you to enjoy! Competitions and games are solely donation based, so rally up your team, determine a wise donation amount, and sign up! 

Not into sports or games? Not a problem! We have a Cookout challenge for you to compete in if you are known to be a grill master! Cookout menu items include grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken wings, ribs and sausage links with sides and desserts. Sign up to show off your grilling skills! Not into grilling? Help us by donating menu items for the Cookout Challenge.

If you don't like sports, games, or grilling, we still have a place for you! Sign up to donate tasty sweets or serve at our parent and student led March Sweetness bake sale. The dates and menu items are as follows: March 9th - cookies, brownies, muffins, pastries, and bars with an option to bring fruit. March 16th - Cakes, pies, and cupcakes with an option to bring fruit. 

Want to just relax, socialize and eat? That still helps us! Buy concession stand tickets in advance so you can enjoy the bake sale sweets and cookout treats. We also invite you to volunteer to serve at the actual event, which will be a great opportunity for fellowship and fun. If you can't join us, or if you just want to simply donate, we encourage that too.

Together, let's make this March Gladness the best one yet!
