How Much Good Can
you
do in a Day?
Saturday,
April 25, 2009
9AM - 2PM
On Saturday, April 25, up to
100 teams will venture into Boston
neighborhoods on a quest to help others, learn about
our city, and raise funds for Boston Cares. Teams
of two to five individuals will participate in brief volunteer tasks at
community agencies, with a healthy dose of fun and
informative quests in between. All teams will be
invited to celebrate the day’s successes with snacks
and beer at their final stop – the Samuel Adams
Celebration of Service in downtown Boston. It’s an
amazing five-hour adventure in volunteerism and
teamwork.
Here’s how it works:
Teams will start downtown at 9 am sharp,
when each team will receive the first of the 8-10
destinations they will visit. At each destination,
teams must complete tasks in order to have their
passport stamped and receive their clue to the next
destination. Most tasks will be mini volunteer
projects, while others will be learning-oriented,
where teams must piece together clues to gain
points; and some will be “just for fun”
assignments. Team starts will be staggered across
the route to minimize bottlenecks at agencies.
Each individual is
responsible for raising a minimum of $100 in pledges. All funds raised benefit Boston
Cares, a non-profit organization that annually
organizes over 2,400 teams of volunteers in service
to Greater Boston.
