Holy Cow, It’s a Hit!
Idaho Lottery, Boise Hawks Host 
Celebrity Homerun Derby Fundraiser! 

(Boise, ID) – Extra! Extra! Extra cash for K-12 public schools, that is. The Idaho Lottery and the Boise Hawks have challenged local celebrities from all over the Treasure Valley to step up to the plate and take a swing at scoring some money for area schools. 

The Celebrity Homerun Derby is Saturday, June 26, 2004, at 6 p.m., just before the Hawks game against Eugene at Hawks Stadium in Garden City. Come early to the game and watch the Valley’s favorite personalities from TV, newspaper and radio strut their tail feathers and slug ’em for schools’ benefit. 

In honor of the Lottery’s 15th Anniversary, the deals are set with a familiar theme. By the time they take the first of fifteen pitches, each celebrity batter has already pre-chosen a K-12 public school in the area to sponsor. With each good hit, the batter will collect cash from the Lottery for their school. 

Hits in the infield = $15
Hits in the outfield = $150
Homerun hits out of the park = $1,500 

Each batter has 15 pitches, so the Idaho Lottery intends to give out a lot of loot to the schools…as long as the celebrity batters get their game on! 

The Idaho Lottery benefiting Idaho public schools and buildings. Must be at least 18 to buy, sell or redeem Lottery tickets. Please play responsibly.
