Add a Sports Based Contest to Your Next Event!
The biggest and most shocking events in sports make people admire the players of them. For those who are looking for a fundraising event or just wish to hold a sports themed contest, lure people in using the promise of big jackpots. Consider these options.
• Baseball: Hit a grand slam and win $10,000. Have a little league contest and award each home run winner with a prize.
• Basketball: In the game of basketball, it has always been the slam-dunk that impresses fans. Offer a 3 point shootout, instead.
• Bowling: Offer a contest during the next league event where those that hit a 7-10 split win big.
Many sports can be used in these instances. Golf has the hole in one. Hockey has red line and blue line shots. Football can be all about field goal kicks. These contests will draw in people to your event. This helps you to get the signs ups you need.
But, What About The Promotion Prize?
In some instances, such as golf, hitting a hole in one has very low odds. Nevertheless, if you sponsor a contest like this, it is incredibly important that you have the funds to back up the grand prize or you could be facing a liability lawsuit. This may deter some from offering such contests, unless they know about the Interactive Promotions Group.
Obtain coverage that protects you from having to pay out these huge sums. You get to keep the profit that comes from sign ups. You pay a small fee to Interactive Promotions Group. When someone wins your contest, Interactive Promotions Group pays out. It is that simple.
Half Court Shots Galore!
As most of us already know, a lucky member of the crowd is chosen at half-time to take a half-court shot for a special prize. Serious cash prizes can be won depending on how generous the person running the contest is.
In February of this year, Mike Truder, a LA reporter, reported on The Mirage Big Shot Jackpot Contest at the end of the third quarter during L.A.'s victory over Atlanta. In his report a very lucky man by the name of Robert Ward lined up from half-court for a chance at $165,000 and made it. How about that!
The story didn’t end there. Robert Ward is a 23-year-old Mission Viejo native, who at the time was a senior at USC and he said that he would use the money to pay off college loans. His shot got some post-shot reaction from Vujacic, Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom. The contest was sponsored by Mirage which is The Official Las Vegas Destination for the Los Angeles Lakers.
February seemed to be the month for half court shots as a jeweler awarded $25K to a winner in Albany, NY. According to an article from the National Jeweler, on February 22, Brendan Bradt made a “high profit” half-court shot to win the "Northeastern Fine Jewelry $25,000 Shooting Stars" contest. This took place at a Siena men’s basketball game. Northeastern Fine Jewelry President Ray Bleser said this in a media release:
"This couldn't have happened to a nicer young man," The minute the ball left his hands, my son-in-law Gregg turned to me and said, 'It's going in.' You dream of being able to sign the check for this type of contest, but honestly you're never really sure that moment will ever come." However there is one question that must be answered.

US Hole In One Expands To Other Sports
US Hole In One is no longer just about golf. In an effort to provide a variety of premier contest insurance, we would like to introduce you to our sister company, Interactive Promotions Group. Interactive Promotions Group provides affordable contest coverage for baseball, bowling, basketball, football, hockey, soccer and tennis events.
For baseball, home runs and strikeouts are possible promotion themes. 3-point shootouts and half-court shots are the most popular themes for basketball. This is a great way to attract more fans to both high school and college games. A 7/10 split is an enticing theme for bowling. Field goal kicks or throwing a football at a target are themes for football. One could do red line and blue line shots in hockey as well as a target serve in tennis contests.
The good news is that we are not limited to these themes. If you have your own idea we will try our best to make it happen. After all, big organizations like the MLB (Major League Baseball), the NBA, the International Tennis Federation, the Professional Bowlers Association, the NFL and NHL love to get the fans involved. We at Interactive Promotions Group believe that the involvement of the fans should be the primary theme of all these contests. After all, everybody wants a piece of the action.
