Join us at YC on March 14, 2023 at Youth Challenge for
Brats, Beer & Brackets, presented by Charles Schwab!

You can't beat this for a Tuesday night: juicy brats, cold beer, and an exciting auction experience. Brats, Beer, & Brackets, presented by Charles Schwab, is a Calcutta-style auction for NCAA Tournament basketball teams presented by Young Professionals for Youth Challenge. Bidding for teams will take place in a live auction event. Auction conducted by: Bob Hale of Benefit Auction Services, LLC.

Tickets are $40 each or you can score two tickets for just $70. A catered bratwurst dinner will be provided by Italian Creations and lots of beer and other drinks will be on hand! 

NEW FOR 2023: 

• Reserved tables are available! Tables for 6 guests are just $210 each. Tables for 8 guests are $275.
• You could win just for participating in the event! When you enter the event, purchase a 50/50 sideboard, purchase an auction package, or donate to the Fund-a-Need, you'll receive a raffle ticket. At the end of the night, we'll select one winner of $400!
• Grab your friends, neighbors, and family and create a betting syndicate. A syndicate is created when everyone in your group pools their money for increased buying power. New this year, we will be offering a syndicate concierge to manage group payments, payouts, and provide other needed support. Register your syndicate by clicking here. Contact Carolyn Palmer at [email protected] for more information.
• Smoothies: Grab a smoothie from YC WOOthies, an initiative of the participant alumni entrepreneurship team. YC WOOthies is an initiative that will teach alumni and YELP participants job skills, promote healthy eating in the Greater Cleveland area, and raise funds and awareness. Enjoy a delicious strawberry mango or banana blueberry smoothie and support our alumni at the first big event of the year!
