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.
