CINCINNATI, OHIO—On Saturday, October 2, the Kiwanis Club of Cincinnati will offer a fun way to raise money for children in the local community with its first annual scavenger hunt fundraiser. Using your car, a bag of clues, a cell phone to call in hints and the Greater Cincinnati White Pages, teams will solve puzzles and race to the next location. A total of six locations are planned for the scavenger hunt, all in close proximity to downtown Cincinnati. The race will start and end at the USB Boys & Girls Club in Avondale.
All participants are invited to join the Kiwanis Club of Cincinnati for an after scavenger hunt party, where the first teams who successfully solve all puzzles, find the clues and return to the USB Boys and Girls Club will receive first prize, as well as second and third place winners. There will also be a silent auction as well as food and fun!
All proceeds will be donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati and Kiwanis sponsored youth programs. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati has eleven clubs where 12,000 disadvantaged youths in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are provided a safe and positive place to learn and grow. Children ages 6-18 spend their non-school hours surrounded by caring adults and engaged in enriching, age appropriate youth development activities.
Kiwanis Club of Cincinnati is a chapter of Kiwanis International, volunteers changing the world one child, one community at a time. Some of our sponsored youth programs include mentoring students at Rockdale Elementary School through the Adopt a Class program, supporting service leadership at the University of Cincinnati, and building confidence in kids at Horizon Science Academy through Bring up Grades, Terrific Kids and K-Kids’ Cooking Club programs.
