EXTRA INCENTIVES for $chool$!
To get everyone excited about our DINO DETOUR, we decided to give out MORE money!! TPSF will be giving out $1000 in October and $1000 in November!! HOW does this work? Who gets the money?? For every 25 registrations/runnerships or Instagram tags with #dinodetour (and your school name of course), we will put your school in a drawing. So, for example, if your school has 40 registrations and 20 Instagram tags by the selected cut-off date, your school would have 2 entries.
For the first drawing, the cut-off date is Sept. 30th for a drawing the following week.
For the second drawing, the cut-off date is Oct. 31st for a drawing the following week.
