I wanted to take the time to inform all my viewers about an upcoming event that the FYF team is putting on..
The goal of the Scavenger Hunt is to raise $100,000 for the Union Rescue Mission, the LA Food Bank, and the LA Burrito Project. The grand prize of the hunt is 4 passes to attend one of the biggest music festivals in the world, Primavera Sound in Barcelona Spain, $2,500 flight credit, and 3 nights at a hotel which takes place in May of 2011. Other prizes include a $250 shopping spree with Keith Morris of Black Flag and Circle Jerks at Fingerprints in Long Beach.
Taken from the FYF website:
HOW IT WORKS
Teams will consist of 2 - 5 people. The Hunt Begins at 2:00pm at Dodger Stadium Parking lot and ends at 8:00pm. Parking is free to enter and exit the parking lot.
The list for the scavenger hunt is 100 items. Each item is worth a certain amount of points. Every item on the list is worth a certain amount of points and the team with the most points wins the grand prize.
Forty (40) of the items are material goods that the URM and LA Food Bank are in constant need of. For example, one can of food is worth 3 points. Other items are socks, shoes, dry food such as rice and pasta, tampons, make up etc. Everyday accessories that the URM is always in need of.
The other sixty (60) items are what makes the scavenger hunt an exciting and memorable event. We can share with you a handful of them...
EXAMPLES FROM PREVIOUS YEARS
-Photograph of team members with bride and groom (extra points if bride is on team members shoulders).
-Photograph of team member kissing drive thru employee of a fast food restaurant.
-Life size cut of Freddy Mercury (Hint: Kinko's).
-All team members get cornrows and extended fingernails.
-Brazilian Flag.
We can't tell you anymore but promise you that there is nothing on the list that is illegal. Some of things are ridiculous but they are all in good fun.
We want to make it very clear that everyone has a chance to win. The winning team will be chosen by how many items on the list they completed and how well they were completed.
There will also be a max amount of points your team can receive by turning in material goods. This keeps the event very fair and does not open the doors for someone with deep pockets to win.
And the best part is, you get to dress up with your team! So get creative and come out and have a good time for a good cause :).
