Fundraising Friday: Citywide Scavenger Hunt or Treasure Hunt

When you create a fundraiser, the most important successful aspect of the event is that your participants have FUN!  Make a game of it.  People are more likely to buy tickets or pay to register than just donate money.  Why not take the normal Scavenger Hunt or Treasure Hunt and SUPERSIZE it?!


As you read the following article, you will find some great ideas for taking a simple scavenger hunt to the city level.  Think about Boardman. What are some easily recognizable landmarks—and some that aren't quite so easily recognized? You can use pictures of these and also create some riddles to lead participants to other spots.

I tried to come up with a few for you.  How well do you know your community?  Here are some ideas to get you thinking about pictures and riddles:

• The clock outside of Barnes and Noble and Bath & Body Works in The Shops at Boardman Park.
• The covered bridge next to Lanterman's Mill.  Maybe just a part of it to make it not so easy.
• The turnoff lane to Tippecanoe from Lockwood—picture taken from the old Quizno's parking lot.

At the end of the Scavenger Hunt or the Treasure Hunt, be sure to provide a decent prize.  Lots of companies would be willing to donate a large prize if you have the event worked out well.

Good luck and have fun!
