Please buy your CHICK-FIL-A from inside North Park Mall  on Saturday April 3rd between 12:00pm and 3:00pm.

To kick start the Blair E. Batson fundraiser, I am teaming up with  Chick -Fil-A  from inisde North Park Mall.  As part of my training schedule for the May 1st  event, I am going to attempt to juggle a soccer ball for 3 hours non-stop.  This will be my first major test.  I will only take one try.

Chick Fill-A is going to donate  20% of the sales that they make  while I am juggling from noon to 3:00pm  to  Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children.   

I will start  juggling at 12:00pm and hopefully end at 3 pm.

The person that guesses the EXACT amount that I can juggle in 3 hours will win $300.

If the ball drops before I reach 3 hours the winning number will be whatever amount I have juggled at that point. My goal is to juggle  the ball for 3 hours non stop.

This event is scheduled for April 3, 2010, at the Chick Fill-A inside NORTH PARK MALL.  While I am juggling anyone can come and watch for as long as they want.

Anyone can try to guess the amount that I might juggle and be eligible to win the $300.

Rules for Guessing: 

1. Once you submit your score it cannot be changed, so guess wisely.
2. The competition is only open to people that live in  Mississippi. 
3. In order for your guess to count, you must leave your full name,  what team you are associated with, if any,  and what city  you are from.
4. Each person will have two guesses on the blog. Click on leave  comments to leave your answers.
5.  If more than one person guesses the exact amount,  Their names will be place in a box and the names eliminated, one by one.  The last name remaining in the box will be the winner.

6. Remember, the winning guess must be the exact amount that I juggle in 3 or less hours. 

The first 5o people that shows up at the event will get one chance to guess before I start juggling, even if  they have already guessed on the blog.
