D-E Celebrates March Madness, Raises Money for CancerCare

Mar 9, 2026 | Recent News

Way to go, Bulldogs! The Dwight-Englewood Fights Against Cancer (D-EFAC) club hosted its annual March Madness basketball tournament last week, raising almost $1,775 for the CancerCare organization, which provides free professional support services and information for people managing cancer. Teams of five students signed up to play, and spectators paid $5 for an entry ticket bracelet for the week and purchased raffle tickets for special prizes. Students also voted through cash donations on which faculty member would get a pie in the face during halftime of the final game—and the lucky recipient (and good sport!) was Mr. Bryant, Dean of the Class of 2028. The week also included a Lunch and Learn with a representative from CancerCare. “March Madness is a really important event for D-EFAC because we are able to get the whole Upper School involved in our fight against cancer through a fun activity,” said club leader Alden Stewart ’27. “Everyone looks forward to this event each year—it’s so rewarding seeing everyone supporting their friends and wearing bracelets throughout the week.” Congrats to The Masters team on their hard-fought win—and to everyone who participated in rallying for a great cause and “making it better”!
