Elaine Turville with Accenture recently said, "The Accenture team has participated in March Mania for the last two years. We have put together a team to create a strong basketball showing. The first year we won a few games but were crushed in the last game. Our families and fellow co-workers were out supporting us in mass and enjoyed all of the fun activities... We are looking forward to year three with hopefully a bit more success".
