What
is The Cincy
Golf Ball Drop
The Cincy
Golf Ball Drop is a unique fundraiser created and hosted by The Smith
Family Foundation to benefit local charitable organizations in a
meaningful way.
Numbered
raffle chances are sold, golf balls are numbered and then dropped onto
a target from high above. Prizes are awarded based on the winning
numbered golf balls being the closest to a targeted area. This cascade
of thousands of numbered golf balls toward the target will be an
exciting event to behold!
