Trap Shooting Contest: When Bullets and Baseball Collide

trap shooting contestNow here’s a fun trap shooting contest that’s sure to grab your attention.  We’re sure you’re wondering: What do trap shooting and baseball have to do with each other?  Read on as we explain what this particular Southeast shooting organization did to help fundraise… and how they incorporated both sports into the promotion!

On March 31st, a group of baseball legends and avid shooters got together to do a little trap shooting and raise some dough.  Participants, excluding the legends, got the chance to win big in a contest in which 50/50 trap targets had to be broken.  Those who managed to shoot all 50 were then entered into a raffle and 4 of those qualifiers were chosen at random to participate in an very unusual baseball target throw promotion!

What made this target toss unusual?  Well, it wasn’s just ANY target … the qualifying contestants had to throw a baseball at a moving clay target and have the ball break through it. The reward for making this innovative shot? A brand new Harley-Davidson motorcycle valued at $12,000.

Makes you think, doesn’t it?  What other sports can be paired up to produce an entertaining promotion?  Football + golf = pass, punt & chip!  Basketball + bowling = court bowling promotion!  Golf + olive = olive in one!

Barton County Community College Foundation Flushes Out New Donors

Sporting Clay Shoot Helps College Triple Grant Funds

Great Bend, Kan. –   To raise money for their faculty mini-grant program, the Barton County Community College Foundation (BCCCF) held a sporting clay shoot featuring the chance to win a John Deere Gator ATV, sponsored by Great Bend Farm Equipment and Randy Hayden, President of the Alliance Insurance Group.

“We were looking for a new fundraiser. We already do a golf tournament and have a very successful auction,” explained Darnell Holopirek, executive director of Institutional Advancement for the BCCCF. “This event touched a different group of people and based on the response, we’ve clearly tapped into something.”

To incent participation and encourage early registration, the first 100 registrants were eligible to win the $10,000 Gator ATV, paid for by Odds On Promotions, if they could score a 100. While no one achieved the grand prize winning score of 100, a few shooters came close, with one scoring a very impressive 95.

Considered golf with a shotgun, the shoot took place at the LaSada Sporting Clays Club and drew a total of 143 participants – 43 more than the first year making it the second largest event in the state. The event also raised $7,800 for faculty mini-grants, which was three times the amount raised during the first year.

According to Randy Hayden with Alliance Insurance Group, “I’ve been working with Mike Maloy with Odds On for a few years now. We’ve done several good promotions – a dice roll for a Harley, a Prize Vault, and golf. This one was really well received. And I understand it was a different audience that the college wouldn’t have normally connected with.”
