UPDATE: Help Dunk Duchenne, Get Chance to Win $25K

UPDATE: Back to battle Duchenne for a second time this year is the Fighting Duchenne Foundation — this time, with a Golf Ball Drop promotion!

On October 14, this Tennessee-based  501(c) (3) non-profit will hold a golf ball drop in conjunction with their annual Golf Fore a Cure event in order to help raise funds for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

The 10 numbered balls that are closest to the target area will be entered into a verification unit.  If one of the individual’s numbers matches Odds On’s 3-digit preselected number, they’ll win $25,000!

Great promotion for a great cause!  On behalf of us all at Odds On Promotions, we once again wish the Fighting Duchenne Foundation all the best come October!

Drive traffic from the baseball stadium to your storefront with a Scratch, Match & Win from Odds On Promotions.

Looking to hit a home run with baseball fans? Check out Odds On’s Scratch Match and Win game where every fan can win up to $100,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions. Distribute custom Scratch, Match and Win cards at the ballpark to every arriving fan.  Fans scratch the designated spots to reveal a set of “lucky numbers”.  During the 7th inning stretch, the “lucky numbers” are revealed on the score board. If one of your fans has the winning numbers, they’ll score your grand prize, and Odds On will write the check.  Go the distance by awarding consolation prizes based on matching fewer numbers.  Bonus: Each card features your company logo, promotional messages and an optional bounce-back coupon.
