SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota: The organisers of a fundraiser that featured teachers on their hands and knees grabbing for dollar bills at a junior hockey league game in South Dakota are apologising after the event drew criticism.
The “Dash For Cash” on Dec 11 night in Sioux Falls was a competition in which 10 local teachers were selected to collect money for school projects. They had five minutes to collect as many of the 5,000 US$1 bills that were spread out on carpet at center ice between periods at the Sioux Falls Stampede’s arena.
