Prizes!

Everyone who purchases a ball has the chance to win a prize! The five balls closest to the hole will win. Winners will choose their prize in the order they placed.

How does it work? 

Each person who purchases golf balls will be provided with a number that corresponds with a number on the golf balls. When the balls drop from the helicopter, the 5 balls closest to the hole are determined to be the winners. Assigned golf ball numbers will be sent to everyone the day prior to the drop.

Winners will be announced via email and on the website following the event.

Rules & Regulations

1. If a ball falls into the designated hole during the drop it will automatically be considered the winning ball. If two or more balls fall into the designated hole, this will be considered a tie. In the event of a tie, the golf balls involved in the tie will be randomly drawn for the appropriate prize. If no balls fall into the designated hole, the balls that are closest to the hole will win. Distance to the hole is measured by the closest point of the ball to the rim of the hole, as determined by the judge, Steven Mandeville – Fund Development Specialist for TFI. If two or more balls are equidistant from the hole, this will also be considered a tie.

2. In the event of any dispute in the contest, the contest judge will rule and the judge’s discretion is final and incontestable.

3. Any person under 21 years of age on the date of the contest is ineligible to play.

4. Every donor will be listed with their corresponding ball on this page the day before the drop.

5. The winner need not be present to win. In the case of inclement weather, the drop will be rescheduled and new time announced on TFI’s Facebook page as well as this website.

6. TFI will not withhold taxes from the winnings to be paid to the Federal Government. The winner will need to claim these withholdings as taxes withheld and the winnings as income. TFI is not responsible for State or Federal Taxes.
