Top 3 Summer Fundraisers from Odds On

Summer fundraisers, you say? We’ve got ’em! Holding a golf tournament this year?  Looking to add in a little something extra to help generate funds for your cause?  You’re in luck! Hole In One International has just released their Top 3 Summer Fundraisers to help you achieve your desired fundraising goals! Let’s take a look:

1. Duck Race
Sell more ducks and raise more bucks with a duck race promotion. If the preselected duck crosses the finish line first, then we’ll pay out the prize! It’s as easy as 1-2-3:

  • Choose an amazing prize (cash, vehicles, houses or anything up to $1,000,000 in value) and sell your ducks.
  • Before your event, we’ll select a group of Lucky Ducks.
  • If one of those ducks crosses the finish line first, the owner will win your amazing prize, and Odds On will pay for it.

2. Golf Ball Drop
A golf ball drop can either be used as a standalone event or as an add-on to your golf tournament, either before or after your outing. Here’s how it works:

  • Generate funds by selling numbered balls.  How much you plan to charge is strictly up to you!
  • Once you’ve sold the balls, all of them are then dropped from a helicopter or cherry picker above a target.
  • If one of the balls closest to that target is on a  pre-selected list of lucky balls, then Odds On will pick up the tab!

3. Poker Run
Hop on your car, boat or motorcycle this summer and you could potentially cruise your way into some serious dough! Just “buy in” by following these easy steps:

  • Design your own course with 5 different stops in which your contestants must travel to.
  • Have each contestant stop at each location and select a card.
  • At the end of the contest, each contestant enters their assigned contestant number and highest 5-card hand into our touch screen verification unit. If they have the preselected lucky hand, we write a check for the prize!

Dropping for Dollars: Golf Ball Drop Contest

Grab Headlines, Raise Money and Give Someone The Chance to Win the Big Bucks With a Giant Prize Golf Ball Drop!

Whether or not you pair it with a golf tournament, a golf ball drop contest makes for a very fun and spectator-friendly fundraiser. After all, there’s nothing quite like watching thousands of golf balls cascading from a helicopter that’s hovering over the 18th hole!

Running a golf ball drop is simple: you sell numbered golf balls (or whatever else you might like to drop from the sky) and drop them on a designated target from a cherry-picker, hot air balloon, or ideally, a helicopter –and whomever owns the ball that lands closest to the target’s center wins your prize.

Of course the secret to a successful Golf Ball Drop contest is ball sales! One of the surest ways to get to a sellout, is to offer ball buyers spectacular prizes such as a brand new car or better yet – the chance to win $1,000,000 paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Here’s how it works. Prior to the drop, Odds On will preselect a few lucky golf balls and if one of those balls lands closest to the target, your winner will score your giant prize and Odds On Promotions will write the check.
