March Madness at Sound: Celebrating Our Winners (and Giving Back!)

Written By Jody Vaynshtok

This March, we brought a little extra energy and friendly competition to the clinic with our very own Sound March Madness bracket challenge, and it did not disappoint. From strategic picks to last-minute upsets (and yes, a few mascot-based decisions), our team showed up ready to play.

And the Winners Are…

  • Chloe Erdan – 1st place winner for the Women’s bracket

  • Melissa Beer – taking the top spot in the Men’s bracket (with a clutch Michigan win to seal it!)

One of our favorite parts of this annual tradition is that the fun goes beyond the bracket. Each winner receives a charitable donation to an organization that matters to them. Melissa directed her donation to Global Refuge, which supports refugees and immigrants through resettlement, education, and advocacy. Chloe chose PJ Library, an organization that provides free books and resources to families to help foster connection, identity, and a love of reading. We love seeing the ways our team gives back and supports causes that align with their values.

We’re already looking forward to next year. Game on!
