Will Your K9, Cat Choice Win ‘March Madness’ At Susquehanna SPCA?

Animal Shelter Sets Up Own Bracket

COOPERSTOWN – It’s cats versus dogs as the Susquehanna SPCA hosts its very first “March Matchness” event from now through the final game of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Kicking off tomorrow (Saturday, March 23), the shelter competition will loosely follow the men’s tourney schedule. The Susquehanna SPCA champion will be announced on Tuesday, April 9.

March Matchness begins with the Elite Eight – four competitors in both the Canine and Feline conferences. Through each round of play, the public is invited to donate toward an animal, or animals, of their choice. Every dollar donated is equivalent to one point, and a winner will be chosen at the end of each “game” based on points earned.
