Includes:
- Welcome message by CEO, Tom Colvin, and Executive Director, Carol Griglione.
- Whisker and Tails (our version of Heads or Tails!). Buy into the game prior to the program start and you could win a 50/50 cash prize.
How it works: All participants who buy in will be asked to stand up at the beginning of the game and select either “whiskers" or “tails” by displaying your whisker prop— or your tail prop! Then, we'll flip a coin and participants whose choice matches the coin flip stay standing. The last person standing wins!
