Please email bill_redig@yahoo.com to add your name to a standby list. If someone who purchased a ticket is unable to attend for any reason, we can connect you with them.

Be sure to join us for our 20^th Annual March Madness Event– a fun filled night of NCAA Tournament games on big screen TVs, Texas Hold’em, side games, open bar, a fantastic dinner, and of course Cosmo camaraderie!

March Madness is one of our club’s major annual fundraisers that nets over $10,000, which is then reinvested back into the Rockford community through our spring Grant Program.

A limited number of 200 tickets are sold, with total cash payouts of $10,600 – including the top prize and last ticket drawn of $5,000!

We encourage all members to attend and also assist in helping sell out this event by inviting spouses, significant others, friends and family to join in on the fun.

Dipsy-Doo Dunk-a-Roo, it’s going to be a Knee-Knocker! Help bring the W Baby!
