• You must make at least a donation of $100 to be entered to win.

• All eligible donors of $100 or more are automatically eligible for the Car Giveaway.

• A donation of $100 is equal to one entry. $200 = 2 entries, $500 = 5 entries and so on.

• Anyone with a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance, aged 18 years or older, who makes a single donation of $100 or more to Burke County United Way (BCUW) either pledged through payroll deduction through a BCUW facilitated workplace campaigns or direct donation.

• Donors who give between December 3rd, 2024 - December 2nd 2025 are eligible for car giveaway entry in 2025. (The last day to be eligible is 1BurkeGives Day - December 2, 2025)

• Burke County United Way reserves the right to determine the validity of all entries.

• Eligibility excludes BCUW staff, BCUW Board, the associated Accounting Firm, and their immediate family members living in the same household.

• A donor can choose to opt-out of participating in the car giveaway by sending an email to info@bcuw.org requesting to be removed from the giveaway.

• Donors of $100 or more are added directly to a digital spreadsheet shared with the Accounting Firm. Drawings will be conducted by an independent accounting firm to certify finalists. The firm donates their time as an in-kind contribution.

• The Accounting Firm will conduct the digital randomizer process selecting finalists and provide BCUW with a certification. A BCUW representative(s) may be present at the event but does not take part in thedigital randomizerdrawing process.

• The drawing for the 12 unique finalists will occur on the week immediately following 1BurkeGives, December 2, 2025. Finalists will be notified immediately.

• Donors who contribute more than $100 will receive multiple entries, which increases their opportunity to be selected as a Finalist. However, even if a donor has multiple entries, they can only be chosen as a Finalist one time. In summary, the more entries a donor has, the better their chance of being selected as a Finalist, but there is a limit of one Finalist selection per donor regardless of how many entries they have.

The car giveaway event will take place on (Date and time TBA - Early to Mid December) at Paramount Hyundai Valdese in Valdese, NC. Lunch will be provided to all in attendance. All Finalists must be present at the Final Event to maintain eligibility.

Each finalist will be given a key to try unlocking the winning car door; only one key will be the winning key. The finalist with the working key will be the winner!

• All 12 finalists grant the Burke County United Way and Paramount Automotive the use of their name and photograph in all communication and publicity materials.

• After each finalist is drawn, BCUW verifies the donor pledge which includes any related workplace Human Resources Department to verify that a finalist has continuously made their payroll deduction pledge. Mistakes may occur, and an employee may have inadvertently filled out the car entry form and did not pledge the required $100. After verification that the finalist meets the required eligibility, a call will be made to the employee to notify them that they have been selected as a finalist.

• Finalists’ information will be forwarded to local media outlets as well as shared through the organization’s social media platforms. 

• For any finalist that results through a workplace campaign, we invite top management and the Employee Campaign Coordinator (ECC) to attend the Final Event.

• Finalists may invite a couple of family/friends to attend the event.
