you will be chalking after all teams have registered. Which team gets their top choice
will be done on a first come first serve basis.
a. Examples of everyday superheroes: firefighters, interpreters, police officers,
teachers; anyone that changes the world for the better or helps others, even in
small ways. You are encouraged to get creative!

used to determine the Parade winner. Whichever team has the most overall points will
place first in the Parade, the team with the second highest overall score will place second

Objective: To have students raise money for charity and to add an element of goodwill and

the teams who raise the most money.
Rules:
1. RSO’s may use any jar or container of their choosing.
2. The jars should be placed in a central location for the organization.
3. The jars need to be returned to the Office of Student Activities & Involvement (located in
UC 101) by 12pm on Friday, October 7th.
4. In order to be counted, all coins must already be rolled in official bank coin holders.
5. The money is based strictly on total; this is not a “penny war.”

Way of Isabella County.
