against other family photos as people “vote” for your family by donating money to a local charity. The winning
family wins a certificate and prize! All money raised through this charitable event will be donated to Lighthouse
Mission of Terre Haute, a local organization whose mission is to aid, assist, and care for homeless individuals
and families by providing shelter, clothing, food, education and emergency services. Those interested in
participating will need to have their photo taken between 10 am - 10:30 am by the information booth. The
"judging" will occur in the Commons from 11 am - 1 pm, and at the football game from 1:30 pm - 3 pm. We
hope you will donate to a great cause and see all of the look-a-like family photos! This contest is being
