NEW THIS YEAR | THE 50/50 FETCH
Get ready for an exciting twist on the classic 50/50 raffle! Purchase a tennis ball for $10 at the event, and you'll have a chance to win half the jackpot in a one-of-a-kind event that combines fun and four-legged friends.
Here's how it works:
1. Purchase your lucky tennis ball(s) at the event - each one is numbered and linked to your name.
2. All the balls will be loaded onto a lift and dropped from above into the drop zone at 1:45 PM.
3. Then comes the star of the show - one of the Westfield Police Department K-9 officers will race out and fetch one of the balls from the pile.
4. The person whose ball is retrieved will win 50% of the total jackpot!
5. The remaining 50% of the jackpot will directly support the Humane Society for Hamilton County.
The more balls you purchase, the better your chance to win - and the bigger the jackpot!
All tennis balls must be purchased at the event. Support a great cause and potentially walk away with a big win.
