Those in attendance will also have the opportunity to over $45,000 worth of prizes including textbook scholarships (two valued at $500 each), Hydro Flask water bottles, Beats headphones, HD televisions and cold, hard cash. Three of the biggest prizes up for grabs are $25,000 in cash which can be won by a lucky fan who sinks a full-court putt, $10,000 in cash for a lucky fan who hits a half-court shot and $10,000 for completing a progressive shot contest (layup, free throw and half-court shot in 30 seconds).
The SFA organization that boasts the best attendance at the event will be on the receiving end of $500 as well. The entire 'Jack Madness event will be broadcast on the SFA Athletics Facebook page via the Facebook Live video streaming service.
