For each round of the tournament (6 rounds total), anyone can bring in nonperishable or canned food items, or anything on the list mentioned below, and place them in the box for the competitor (found in the lobby) they want to support in the free-throw challenge, for each round. Whichever competitor has more food gets an EXTRA SHOT! 

This year, we have shared a list of specific items that are especially needed (Found on the homeroom website). Competitors who have those specific items placed in their box will earn an additional bonus shot. 

After each round, all boxes will be emptied and the process will start over for the next round.

All food proceeds go directly to the SALVATION ARMY!! PLEASE help us make this successful!
