Official Sweepstakes Rules

1. Sponsor

These sweepstakes are sponsored by the Eric Royston Foundation (“Sponsor”), a Michigan nonprofit organization. Questions may be directed to the Sponsor at info@ericroystonfoundation.org.

2. Sweepstakes Offered

Two separate sweepstakes are offered:

• Split Pot Sweepstakes — One (1) winner will be selected and awarded fifty percent (50%) of the total net proceeds collected for this sweepstakes. The remaining fifty percent (50%) is retained by the Sponsor for charitable purposes.
• Golf Prize Sweepstakes — Multiple winners will be selected to receive physical prizes as described on the sweepstakes entry page. Prizes include, but are not limited to, golf equipment and golf experience packages. Individual prize descriptions and approximate retail values are listed at golf.ericroystonfoundation.org/raffles.

Each sweepstakes is independent. Entry into one does not constitute entry into the other.

Employees, officers, and directors of the Sponsor and members of their immediate families (spouse, parents, siblings, children) and household members are not eligible.

6. Drawing

Winners will be selected by random drawing from all eligible entries received by the close of the applicable entry period. Drawings will be conducted at the Eric Royston Foundation Annual Golf Outing event on or about September 15, 2026. For the Split Pot Sweepstakes, one (1) winner will be drawn. For the Golf Prize Sweepstakes, one (1) winner will be drawn per available prize. Drawings will be conducted under the supervision of the Sponsor. Decisions of the Sponsor are final and binding on all matters relating to these sweepstakes.

7. Odds of Winning

Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received for each sweepstakes. Each eligible entry has an equal chance of being selected regardless of method of entry.

8. Winner Notification

Winners will be notified at the event and/or by email or phone within seven (7) days of the drawing. Winners may be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release within fourteen (14) days of notification. Failure to respond within the required time period, or return of any prize notification as undeliverable, may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner.

9. Prizes

All prizes will be awarded. Prizes are non-transferable and no substitution or cash equivalent will be made except at Sponsor's sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable. Winners are solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes on prizes received.

10. General Conditions

By entering, participants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entrant for any reason at its sole discretion.
