The fundraiser, which has raised more than $100,000 since its inception in the early 1990s, annually attracts more than 300 people, who go after some major prizes -- and can win one by donating at least a quarter.

The admission price is $20 or $60 and makes the purchaser eligible to win prizes. The money pays for scholarships and other expenses incurred in running Pahrump Valley Youth Golf Founders Club programs.
