PAC Bow Archery, USA Archery, Pilot Rock, and Blick Arts & Crafts sponsored the giveaway with four prizes worth more than $10,000. All parks and recreation departments, summer camps, and school districts in the United States had a chance to enter and win any one of the prizes.
PAC Bow Archery—Super Butt Target 5 Pack w/Shed Assemblies
Nicole Burton won a PAC bow archery set with shed assemblies–a $3,000 value. Burton is the recreation coordinator for the city of Mesquite in Nevada. She and the city will receive a "Super" solid core, one-piece target unit, with 12 7-inch targets on one side, and four 14-inch targets on the opposite side. The prize includes a Target Shed to help shield it from the outdoor elements.
Burton says the set will be used in their Hunter Safety Education Program and will greatly add to the “hands-on training” that is offered in the program.
USA Archery—Archery Program Kit
Charlee Glenn, Environmental Education Programs Manager at the Fayette Environmental Education Center in Georgia has won the Archery Program Kit which includes everything you need to start an archery program: five Morrell targets, 12 bows, 60 arrows, finger tabs, arm guards, arrow safety netting, maintenance, and repair kit, bow rack, instructor certification, Explore Archery: An Instructor’s Guide to Beginner Archery Programs, posters, and more. The kit—valued at $5,500—aims to introduce beginners to archery safely and effectively.
“We had plans to start an archery program … but time, money, and resources became a hurdle that forced us to put those dreams on a backburner,” Glenn says. “In winning this kit, we will be able to implement archery into our WILD Summer Camp program this year!”

Laura Jasso, Event Coordinator for the city of Portland, Texas, has won a Campsite Essentials Package from Pilot Rock. The set—which includes a charcoal grill, steel-frame picnic table, campfire ring with cooking grate, and a trash receptacle—is valued at $1,500.
