THE HUNT: Bowl for Kids' Sake 2021

This spring, we’re changing things up and introducing THE HUNT: Bowl for Kids’ Sake 2021! We’re inviting companies, Bigs, and community members to join us May 3rd-28th for a city-wide Scavenger Hunt with exciting Missions, prizes, and fundraising for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County.


It’s pretty simple. Here’s how it works:

  • Register and Create a Team ($25 per person, $15 for Bigs, Littles/kids are free)

    • After registering, a personalized fundraising page is created for each individual.

    • Participants will ask friends, family, and colleagues to donate to their team, just like they would for a 5K (or our traditional Bowl for Kids’ Sake event!).

    • Fundraising will be incorporated in the Missions, so keep the donations coming!

  • May 3rd - 28th: Start Hunting!

    • Using a scavenger hunt app, teams will earn points by completing Missions.

    • Team members will submit photos and videos, with more points for harder Missions.

    • Missions will highlight Madison landmarks and local businesses, but will also include fun challenges to do at home.

  • Socially Distance? No Problem.

    • Each team can decide how to do THE HUNT—work together to complete Missions or divide them up and get going on your own.

    • The scavenger hunt app lets you easily see your team’s points, completed Missions, and remaining Missions, so you can keep track of your progress even if you’re not together.

  • Get Out, Have Fun, & Give Back

    • Perks include a free t-shirt, voucher for free bowling, and swag from local businesses.

    • All teams will have a chance to win prizes, but the more points you earn, the more chances you’ll get! Cash in your points at our outdoor celebration event in June.

    • Why does it matter? Every dollar raised supports youth mentoring in Dane County--you can make a difference.
