Educators in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, had five minutes to collect as many of the 5,000 bills as they could in the widely condemned stunt.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — A fundraising event that featured teachers on their hands and knees fetching dollar bills between periods of a junior hockey league game in South Dakota should not have happened, the head of the state’s teachers union said Monday.
The so-called “Dash For Cash” event Saturday night in Sioux Falls was a competition from which 10 local teachers were selected to shovel up money for school projects they outlined before being selected to participate. They had five minutes to collect as many of the 5,000 one-dollar bills that were spread out on carpet at center ice of the home arena for the Sioux Falls Stampede.
