Teacher’s Credit Union's Dash for Cash was held in the Tiger Den Friday during the Warsaw Community High School boys basketball home game against Concord.
Prior to the halftime event, Warsaw Community Schools administrators April Fitterling and Dr. David Hoffert gathered with WCS board members Elle Turley, Brad Johnson and Matt Deuel to recognize Karen Mayer, TCU branch manager, and TCU staff for the ongoing support, according to a news release from WCS.
Three ticket winners were announced during halftime. All three winners were WCS elementary students. Third-grader Aaron Jones pulled the $10 envelope and kindergartener Logan Moore pulled the $20 bill. The golden ticket and grand prize of participating in TCU's $1,000 Dash for Cash was claimed by fourth-grader Waldo Nelson.
The crowd cheered for Nelson as he dashed across the gym floor to gather the scattered bills and stuff them in his shirt and pockets. Within the 30-second time limit, he gathered $227.
