At each big event, one male and one female with the most spirit will be chosen to compete in the half-time competition at the Gold Rush.
Additionally, Up ‘til Dawn will be accepting donations at each event. The more dollars donated, the more tickets a student will get to enter into a drawing for a $250 dollar book scholarship donated by the Arkansas Tech University Bookstore. The winner must be present at the Gold Rush games to win.
