(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) – Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity (AEPi), the world’s leading Jewish college fraternity, has raised $66,811 for the Israel Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) through the fraternity’s annual Mensch Madness bracket challenge. This year’s total is the largest amount raised in the ten-year history of the program.
AEPi’s Mensch Madness Official Bracket Challenge combines the excitement of the annual NCAA college basketball tournament with the competitiveness of pitting campuses across the globe against one another. The AEPi chapter that raises the most money wins a prize, as does the individual submitting the winning bracket. More than 1,200 brackets were submitted this year, raising more than $65,000. AEPi at Indiana University won this year’s competition, raising $14,273, the most ever by a single chapter. Other top finishers were American University, Elon University, California State University – Northridge, University of Pittsburgh and The Ohio State University. The undergraduate raising the most money was Brother Harrison Berg from Kansas University.
