SUMMARY:Cock-a-Doodle-Poo-Plop Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:This year we’ve switched things up—out with the cow\, in with the chicken! We’ve also doubled the fun—two chicken plops\, two chances to win! Every square you buy helps fund our 5th graders’ Science Camp and end-of-year Ziplining adventure! \nHow To Play \n\nBuy Your Square(s) Online at smespta.com/chicken-plop. Each square is $20. Buy as many squares as you’d like in Game #1\, Game #2\, or both (each game has 100 squares max).\nSquares Are Randomly Assigned – After you purchase\, your square number(s) will be randomly assigned.\nCheck Your Email – On Thursday\, October 23rd\, one day before the event\, you’ll receive an email with your square number(s) and a full grid showing all players and numbers.\nWatch the Fun – During the event\, we will release a chicken on the grid (with feed sprinkled around). Wherever the poop plops\, that square wins! What happens if the chicken gets stage fright? We’ll add in a backup bird!\n\nThe Prize\nWinner receives 25% of the pot (up to $500 per game). Chicken poops on two squares = split pot. Chicken poops on four corners = split four ways. Winners do not need to be present to win (but it’s way more fun if you are!). \nPurchase your squares today!
