With the events going on for the men's and women's basketball games, it made for a busy day in prep in the morning before the games and also during the games. Findlay is considered a rival of Tiffin and is just a short drive from campus. The games were highly attended by fans from both schools. In the morning I helped with prepping scripts and the promotional contests for the games. Additionally, we discussed my role in helping with all that would be going on during the games. Part of the promotions were to help fund raise for the girl with cystic fibrosis and the Make a Wish Foundation. We had a sports organizational group the student athletic advisory committee (SAAC) helping with the fundraisers which included a 50/50 raffle, t-shirt sales, and a dollar three point contest. The members of SAAC went throughout the crowd during the games selling 50/50 raffle tickets and promoting the dollar three point contest. During the dollar three point contests the fans could come onto the court and pay a dollar and attempt a three point shot. If they made it, their name would be entered into a drawing to take a half court shot to win a restaurant gift card during the second half. It required substantial organization and attention to detail to ensure that all tasks were completed and everything went smoothly for the games and the girl enjoyed her night at the game with her friends and family. It was an incredible atmosphere and a good amount of money was raised from the efforts of all involved.
