CCHS Wins $5,000 in T-Mobile Sweepstakes

CCHS Wins $5,000 in T-Mobile Sweepstakes

Churchill County High School (CCHS) won $5,000 in T-Mobile’s $5K Fridays Sweepstakes, Athletic Director Brian Mello announced Tuesday, September 3. The school now has a chance to win $25,000 and a grand prize. 

Mello entered CCHS into the sweepstakes on Aug. 24 after learning about it from T-Mobile’s Rural Market Manager, Ed Romero. “I thought it would be an incredible opportunity for our athletic program and our school community as a whole,” Mello said. 

Only rural schools were eligible for the competition. Mello submitted two essays: one about how the school would use the money and another about the significance of Friday night football to the community. After the school was approved, CCHS launched an Instagram page, @cchs_greenwaveathletics, to promote the contest. 

“We encouraged the community to post their school spirit on Instagram to increase our chances of winning,” Mello said. Using hashtags #FN5GL and #Sweepstakes, students and community members shared Greenwave pride to boost CCHS’s odds in the sweepstakes. 

On September 3, Mello received the news that CCHS had won the $5K prize. “I had no doubts that our school and community would prevail. I already have plans to use the $5,000 to improve our athletic facilities,” he said. 

CCHS is now in the running for the $25,000 prize and a grand prize of $100,000, which includes a donation from NFL player Rob Gronkowski for a new or upgraded weight room. “Winning would show that this small, rural community can come together and achieve anything,” Mello said. 

To support CCHS, community members are encouraged to share their Greenwave moments on Instagram, tagging @TMobile and @cchs_greenwaveathletics with the hashtags #FN5GL and #Sweepstakes. 

T-Mobile will present the $5,000 check at the homecoming game on Friday, September 20, at 7 p.m. with giveaways for attendees.
