THE HUNT is a county-wide scavenger hunt and peer-to-peer fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County. Running April 28th-May 21st, THE HUNT features fun and engaging Missions that get folks outside and exploring Dane County. Participants can form teams of 2-6 people, so grab friends, family, colleagues, Bigs, Littles, and anyone else who likes having fun for a good cause!
New to THE HUNT? Here is how it works:
1. Register and Join a Team: Registration is $25 for adults and $15 for Bigs in our program. All kids under 18 are free, including Littles. You can register others at the same time you register yourself, but just make sure you include email addresses (for adults) so they receive updates about THE HUNT. Once you're registered, you'll be prompted to join an existing team or create your own, and then you can invite others to join! Your registration includes a free T-shirt and some goodies from local businesses.
2. Start Fundraising: A personalized fundraising page will be created for you with tools to help you ask for donations via social media, email and text. THE HUNT doesn't officially start until April 28th, but you can earn points for Early Bird Missions as soon as you start fundraising. Remember, the more money your raise, the more children you impact, and the more points you earn on THE HUNT!
3. Get HUNTing & Have Fun! After registering, HUNTers will receive an email with all the important event details (including download instructions for GooseChase, our scavenger hunt app). Once you're all set up, your team can start earning points and competing for prizes! The more you fundraise and the more Missions you complete, the higher you'll climb on the GooseChase Leaderboard, and there are BIG prizes up for grabs! But don't fret if you're not leading the pack. We'll be giving out a variety of prizes throughout THE HUNT, so everyone has a chance to win BIG!
