Set for March 12 at the Carmel High School Gymnasium, the event has raised more than $170,000 for non-profits since its inception in 2009.

Anyone who wants to raise funds for a local cause or charity is eligible to participate.

Each participant is given two minutes to shoot baskets (lay-ups). The total number of baskets made, times the pledge per basket plus the total of flat donations equals the amount due from each sponsor.

As an example, with a pledge of .20 cents per basket and 40 completed baskets, the donation would be $8.
