We know you\u2019ve seen a giant check at some point in your life, whether at a charity event, public donation, or on a Publishers Clearing House giveaway. There are countless ways to utilize an oversized check, so we\u2019ve put together a list of 10 common (and some uncommon) ways to maximize their functionality.<\/p>

Giant checks are made from a lightweight\u00a0foam board<\/a>, making transporting and handling them easy without breaking your bank or back (but handle them with care, because the material itself can break or bend and cause permanent creases when not handled correctly). Even though these checks aren\u2019t made with a dry-erase surface, they are completely customizable and our team of professional graphic designers are happy to help you\u00a0customize the check to your liking for free<\/a>!<\/p>

With the basics covered, let\u2019s jump into those 10 common uses of large checks.<\/p>

Fundraisers<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Is there a better way to present the earnings of a fundraiser than with a\u00a0custom giant check<\/a>? Not only are they great for presenting, but they can be easily displayed on a wall for the long term to remember the momentous accomplishment!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n\"Giant

Sponsorship Deals\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 Sponsoring a local event? Or maybe you\u2019re sponsoring a local athlete that\u2019s traveling around competing; whatever it may be, a giant check is a great way to show your support and loyalty to the cause you\u2019re donating to. This is a great way for small local businesses to develop relationships within their own community!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n\"Giant

Scholarships\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 Besides a congratulatory letter sent to the winner of a scholarship, include an on-campus ceremony with the presentation of a giant check to commemorate the award. Snap a picture with the giant check and make it shareable on your social media accounts for further engagement and publicity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n\"Giant

Ground Breakings \/ Grand Openings \u00a0<\/b>\u2013 Whether you\u2019re breaking ground on a new project or you\u2019re ready to cut the ribbon to open your doors consider having a giant check presentation to add to the day\u2019s events. Checks can be presented to the community, to new employees, or a lucky customer that won a giveaway and make for journalist-friendly photo ops for any media covering your ground breaking. \u00a0Private donors can also use these events to donate to public buildings like libraries, schools, or hospitals if they are not doing so anonymously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n\"Giant
