Payment Timing: Prize issued after verification via District/Foundation processing. No same-day payouts. Please allow up to 4 weeks for processing/mailing. 

Contingencies: If weather/safety/operational issues prevent a helicopter drop, the Foundation may (at its sole discretion) (i) conduct a manual drop from an elevated platform, or (ii) select a winner by random drawing from all assigned entries. If the event is canceled, purchases may be treated as charitable contributions or the event may be rescheduled. 

Conduct & Safety: All participants/spectators must follow course and event rules. The Foundation may modify, suspend, or cancel the contest, and may refuse participation to protect safety and fairness.
