Active Giveaways / Hometown Hero Outdoors Foundation
Custom 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew
WTW review incomplete — WTW has confirmed a current campaign, but complete terms and prize verification are unfinished. Model year conflict: the campaign headline says 2026 while the prize line and description say 2027; the model year is not asserted. Prize is subject to a $250,000 donation minimum per prior intake review of the official rules (25% of proceeds fallback below it); not re-read from rules this run. Official rules page was not requested in this occurrence; terms, eligibility, entry cap and odds are unverified. The only captured photo is an interior detail of the truck; it is treated as official campaign imagery, not confirmed to show the exact prize vehicle. Disclosed: owner-submitted lead; current page, open entries and one photo were checked this run, but rules, eligibility and timing were not verified here. Disclosed: headline says 2026 but the feed prize line says 2027; the year is left unassigned. Official rules were not fully accessible or not supplied. Review the operator’s current terms before entering. Closing deadline is unresolved. No exact closing time is assumed; check the official campaign. Official campaign illustration; the actual prize vehicle may differ. Additional official campaign images have not yet been fully reviewed.

Award conditions
Disclosure incomplete · 0/7The specific Prize clause is the vehicle OR cash, and the FAQ says the winner elects the cash prize; the generic "may not be substituted or redeemed for cash by Prize winner" sentence is read as limiting later substitution or conversion after the prize is determined, not as contradicting that stated election, so no conflict is recorded. Still missing: whether the cash prize is paid gross or net of tax withholding or in installments (the FAQ says only that cash is delivered by U.S. Mail, wire transfer or other mutually acceptable means). Separately, below the donation minimum the winner receives 25% of total donation proceeds, which the rules define as the gross proceeds received by the Sponsor from donations for Entries.
