putting contest at the charity&#8217;s 25th Annual &#8220;Jump Ball Gala&#8221; event, which featured appearances by Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson (&#8220;KJ&#8221;) of NBA fame.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals who made a donation at the event had the opportunity to participate in a 15-foot putting golf contest.\u00a0 All those who successfully holed the putt then had their names placed in a bowl. \u00a0Out of all those who qualified, one lucky attendee&#8217;s name was drawn and they were given the opportunity to make a final 60-foot putt.\u00a0 If they holed that grand prize putt, they would have been given the gift of flight &#8212; <strong>$20,000<\/strong> in free private flight hours,\u00a0paid for by\u00a0Odds On Promotions.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in insuring\u00a0one
