Carson Scholars Ball Drop Drop $20 and You Could Win a Scholarship for Your School! Join the Carson Scholars Fund in providing scholarships to academically talented and socially conscious students. Numbered golf balls will be dropped by helicopter over the putting green during the 5th Annual Ben Carson Celebrity Golf Tournament on October 22, 2012 at Bulle Rock Golf Course in Havre de Grace, MD. If your numbered ball drops into the hole first, or is the closest ball to the hole, as the grand prize winner, the school of your choice will receive a 2013 Carson Scholarship and you will receive a fabulous prize! If 75 balls are purchased indicating the same school, then that school will automatically receive a 2013 Carson Scholarship, before the balls are even dropped! When students, teachers, and parents work together, everyone wins! Return the ball registration form below with payment to enter. Only one school can be indicated per order form. All proceeds will benefit the Carson Scholars Fund. Contest rules apply, see reverse page for details. Visit www.carsonscholars.org for complete rules. Ball purchases are not tax deductable.

Carson Scholar Ball Drop Contest Rules: 1. For an entry fee of $20, each participant will be entered into the Carson Scholars Fund Ball Drop to take place on October 22, 2012. Participants may enter more than once. Participants will be assigned numbered golf ball(s). 2. On October 22, 2012, the golf balls will be placed randomly in a bucket and dropped from a helicopter over a pre-selected contest hole. The participant whose numbered ball goes into the prepared contest hole will have the school of his or her choice awarded a 2013 Carson Scholar. 3. If multiple balls go into the hole, only the first ball that enters the hole will receive the designated grand prize. 4. If no balls go in the hole, a measurement will be taken and the closest ball to the hole, measured perpendicularly from the center of the hole, will receive the designated prize. In the event of a tie of balls at equal distances from the center of the hole, a coin toss will determine the grand prize winner. 5. The winner will be announced immediately following the ball drop and does not need to be present to win. The winner will be posted on the Carson Scholars Fund website. 6.
