What could be more fun than a Scavenger Hunt? How about a Treasure Hunt? Better yet, how about a treasure hunt where you can share your treasure and excitement with others? That's what Shared Treasure Hunt is all about -- kids helping kids, specifically kids delivering treasure to other kids who don't have much in the way of treasure of their own, let alone a place or home to put it in.
You too can join in the adventure by participating in our Black Jack Friday event. Just collect 21 items to deliver to a homeless child around your own age on Friday Nov 25, 2011.
You may go door to door in your neighborhood, ask your parents to put up a flyer at their office, post on Facebook.... any and every way you can think of to collect the best goodies possible. Please try to include one item from each of the following categories, if you can:
- Toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, hand sanitizer, lip balm, deodorant
- Treats: trail mix, packaged cookies & munchies, gum, mints, candy
- Creative supplies: sketch or coloring books, pens, pencils, crayons, journal, stickers
- Stuffed animals
- Reads: books, magazines
- Toys: cars, dolls, anything you yourself would like
- Night night: pajamas, blanket, pillow, flashlight
- Games: playing cards, board games, checkers/chess
- Clothing: sweatshirt/hoodie, socks, gloves, scarf, undies, hat
- Hair stuff: brush, products & accessories
- Shoes
- Fun in the sun: swim suit, towel, sunscreen, frisbee, beach ball, swim goggles
- Glug glug: water, juice, powdered milk
- Creature comforts: collapsable chair, umbrella, tarp
- Oooohs: mp3 player, watch, jewelry, pre-paid phone
- Be a sport: skateboard, football, soccer ball, baseball glove/bat/ball
- Showtime: movie passes + popcorn, drink, etc (see if anyone has this going unused)
- Batteries
- Gift card: fast food place, Target, VISA, you name it (feel free to ask a grownup for help with this one)
- Backpack to put it all in
- Greeting card signed by your friends and family
Participants who are successful in collecting and delivering their abundance of pirate booty will be recognized and cheered... how, you ask? It's a surprise! Just like all the fun stuff you will collect for the child you are sure to make smile. Contact us on Facebook to become part of the crew.
