The amount o f pledged dollars
qualifies each person for prize
drawings at three levels. Level
one is for those with pledges rang
ing from $1-100; level two, $101-
250; and level three, $250 or
more. Merchants and others are
donating a wide range o f prizes
and each participant will receive

up with others on different lanes.
