A fundraising plane pull can generate a lot of good publicity and raise funds for your playspace! Pulls are done by teams (should consist of around 20 folks each) that pay an entry fee and compete in several categories. If you don’t have access to a plane, try a something a little smaller, like a fire truck, Fed Ex truck—even a hearse!
Prep Steps:
1) Secure a plane, truck or tractor to pull! Make sure you talk to the vehicle’s owner about appropriate safety features, and ask if they can arrange delivery to your site.
2) Secure a venue that is large enough for your plane, teams and spectators. Don’t fret—teams generally don’t pull a plane very far, 10 feet is usually MORE than enough!
3) Decide on prize categories: Fastest Pull, Lightest Combined Body Weight, Top Men’s and Women’s, Best Showmanship
4) Make flyers to advertise your Plane Pull
5) Look for local, in-kind donations for team prizes or trophies.
