Hunting for clues while helping a cause
Ten teams of adults running around the streets of Grand Rapids, Michigan in matching t-shirts and medical gear could hardly go unnoticed.
This was the second Grid70 Scavenger Hunt, where 25 Amway employees volunteered to raise money for the Heart of West Michigan United Way, a nonprofit organization that strives to “create opportunities for a good life for everyone in the community through giving, advocating, and volunteering.
”
The all-day event included a scavenger hunt and after party, complete with a silent auction of products donated by local companies. Scavenger hunt initiatives included digging blindfolded in a mud bucket to find cockroaches (plastic ones, of course), carrying an egg baby and capturing photographs of all completed tasks.
Throughout the action-packed event, the teams proved that fundraising doesn’t always have to be bowties and speeches.
