KIRKLAND – Heidi Kissamis recently was awarded with $10,000 donated by Resource Bank as part of the bank’s Kick-Off for Kash contest.

The donation was awarded during a Hiawatha High School football game on Oct. 25, according to a news release. Kissamis won the contest at a game on Oct. 11 when Hiawatha’s Tim Pruitt returned the second-half opening kickoff for a touchdown.

Resource Bank has sponsored the Kick-Off for Kash program since 2007. The program supports local high school programs. The schools offer tickets for sale at their home games. The winning ticket is drawn that night.

The raffle ticket winner is announced before kickoff. If the winner is present and the home team returns their half-opening kick for a touchdown, the winner earns the grand prize. The program is offered at DeKalb, Hiawatha, Genoa-Kingston, Sycamore and Kaneland high schools.
