Ensuring the Integrity of the POWER UP Entries

Those individuals that qualify for the POWER UP sweepstakes are automatically and systematically entered into the drawing as their pledges are processed. Companies, who do not typically provide individual pledge information, may submit a list of those employees who have qualified. Those names will then be added to the data base of automatic qualifiers. Additionally, those people who submitted an entry outside of the automatic qualification process are also entered in to the data base.

Two separate queries of those who qualify will be conducted by Douglas Associates of Battle Creek, MI, donor management software vendor for the United Way of Jefferson & North Walworth Counties, compared and verified by Dan McCrea, Executive Director, so as to ensure eligible participants inclusion prior to the drawing. The final list of names will then be scrambled using computer so the list of eligible participants is not in alphabetical order and each name is assigned a random number. A United Way volunteer will choose a number from the total assigned field of numbers and the winner of the sweepstakes is the person blindly assigned by the computer to that number. This process will repeat four times, randomly selecting four numbers. The first number drawn will be awarded the fourth prize, the second number drawn will be awarded the third prize, the third number drawn will be awarded the second prize and the final number drawn will be awarded the first prize.

Although the United Way of Jefferson & North Walworth Counties can not publish the list of all those who qualify, a Workplace Campaign Coordinator may request a list of qualifiers prior to the drawing, but after all pledges received by December 11, 2009 have been posted.
