If you enjoy scavenger hunts, problem-solving activities, puzzles and competing against others, then Casinos Regina and Moose Jaw’s Charity Championship is the event in which to participate.
Casinos Regina and Moose Jaw are passionate about giving back to the communities in which they operate, according to the Charity Championship website. By hosting this event, the casinos support numerous charities and non-profits through financial donations. They also bring people together for fun and fundraising with the aim of building a better community for friends, family and future.
The game begins on Friday, Aug. 16 at 1 p.m. and is two hours in length. Teams of four people will walk to various locations throughout downtown Regina. The game involves a series of team challenges, including problem-solving, puzzles and gathering items in a specified time.
Teams are awarded points based on the manner and time in which each challenge is completed. At the end of the hunt, points are tallied — including any point multipliers — and the results are announced; all winners receive prizes.
There are no upfront fees required at sign up. To participate, participants must fundraise a minimum of $100 — via their FundRazr campaign page — before Friday, Aug. 9. Or, if the $100 entry fee is paid early, participants will be guaranteed a spot instantly and be entered to win four tickets to the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ Labour Day Classic game.
Teams are encouraged to ask their friends for help. The more money raised, the more advantages teams will receive in the game. In this case, it is a point-based multiplier determined by the number of funds raised on the FundRazr page. Not only that, teams can earn bonus points by simply wearing a team costume on the day of the event.
Once all point totals have been counted, an awards presentation will take place after the competition at the Casino Regina Show Lounge. There will be music, drinks, and free food while teams wait for the results.
Prizes will go to the top four teams that accumulate the most points — including the bonus points — and will be given to the team’s charity of choice. The team cash will go to the team members themselves.
The first place team will receive $10,000 for its charity of choice, while the team itself will receive $1,000. The second place team will receive $7,500 for its chosen charity, while the team will receive $500. The team in third place will receive $5,000 for its charity of choice, while the team will be given $300. The fourth place team will receive $2,500 for its chosen charity, while the team will receive $200.
