3. Any person
who contributes at least $3 per week ($156 per year) to United Way of
Westmoreland County (UWWC) or through UWWC to one of its partner agencies for
the Fall 2007 Campaign and who is not ineligible under the Act or these rules
will be eligible.
4. Any person
who contributes a new gift of at least $1 per week ($52 per year) or increases
their previous gift by that amount will be eligible for the Step-Up Raffle.
5. Contributions directed solely to the
Community Impact Fund will receive two chances to win.
6. To verify the
donation and participation in the raffles, a campaign pledge form must be
completed, including a personÕs name, address, telephone number, and amount of
contribution. Entries must be returned to UWWC by 5:00 p.m. on November 30,
2007, for the final Incentive Program Raffle. If chosen, UWWC will again verify
pledge information. If the pledge is via payroll deduction, employment and
continued payroll deduction participation will also be confirmed. Step-Up
deadline dates are 5:00 p.m. on October 26 and November 16.
7. Members of
the staff, Board of Directors of UWWC, and their immediate family members are
not eligible. Immediate family members include spouses, parents and children.
8. Winners are
required to provide proper photo identification and verification upon
presentation of prizes.
9. By entering
their name, each winner agrees that UWWC may use their name and/or photograph
for publicity purposes upon presentation of prizes.
10. No
cash equivalent will be provided in lieu of the prizes.
11. Winners
will be required to pay any title transfer costs and other applicable taxes
relating to transactions including but not limited to federal and state income
taxes.
12. Participants
must be 18 years of age or older.
13. Participation
in this raffle may affect the tax deductibility of your gift; however, since we
estimate the value of each donorÕs opportunity to be $3.07, it is our belief
that the value is de minimis and therefore should not require any deduction in
an individualÕs gift to UWWC. You may consult your tax advisor for more
information.
