The Alzeihmer's Association San Diego/Imperial Chapter's mission is to support efforts in research, care of those affected by Alzheimer's, and the promotion of brain health. Alzheimer's is a fatal and progressive brain disease with no cure and no survivors. As part of their efforts, every year, this organization puts together a huge scavenger hunt called "Quash" to help raise funds for their cause. This year the events will be held at the University of Northern Iowa, the University of Iowa and San Diego.
Quash involves teams of 2-4 players who will be required to use their brain power, creativiy and team-building skills to complete a scavenger hunt. Teams will travel on foot and will be required to solve clues that will award them a pre-determined amount of points if they get the correct answers. The teams will race through this scavenger hunt to the finish line where they will be greeted with a party, music, food and awards. Check out their website for additional information: www.quashnow.org or http://www.alz.org/quashnow/2010_about_cause.asp
The coordinators of the event are reaching out to organizations to help with gift donations and sponsorship. Inspired Designs by Patricia (www.idbyp.com) will be donating $200 worth of gift certificates toward the association's need for gift donations. If your organization would be interested in either donating gift certificates or sponsoring, please contact me at inspireddesignsbypatricia@yahoo.com. Help make a difference.
