Consider Fundraising with a Chicken Soup Swim for your next fund raising event or fundraiser!

Chicken Soup Swim Fundraising

For a $5 donation to The Good Samaritan Inn in Timmins, Ontario, participants were given an opportunity to dive into a 94" x 28" swimming pool filled with warm chicken soup and nearly 100 unmarked keys to win a donated 1988 Chevy Silverado. The rules were simple. In 30 seconds participants must dive into the pool, fish around for a single key, rush to the vehicle and attempt to start it up. If it came to a roaring start, the truck was theirs. People could try for the key as many times as they wanted, but they had to donate $5 for each try. Participants had to be at least 18 years old and sign a waiver during registrations.
