Elevation Outdoors was created to help all local youth, regardless of personal circumstances, have the opportunity to make healthy lifestyle choices and experience personal growth through participation in challenging outdoor pursuits. You can learn more about us at www.elevationoutdoors.ca.
Elevation Outdoors is proud to announce the return of the Great Kelowna Scavenger Hunt presented by the Downtown Kelowna Association. The Great Kelowna Scavenger Hunt is a day long event to support some of Kelowna’s many amazing local businesses while also raising funds for Elevation Outdoors and the Rotary Club of Kelowna Morningside in their efforts to make a positive impact in our community. Participants will receive clues to help them find the prizes that will be scattered all across Downtown, the North End and Central North with Gordon/Highway 97/Knox Mountain and the lake as the boundaries. First group to find the locations wins the prize for that spot!
In order to make our Scavenger Hunt a reality, we are seeking donations from local businesses to use as prizes for players. Partial sponsorship dollars and donations from the community will be used to purchase gift cards from locally owned/operated businesses as well. These gift cards will be used as the hunt prizing, while supporting our community and its businesses. Ideally gift card donations are in smaller denominations (i.e. five $20 gift cards are better than one $100 gift card) as this encourages gift card winners to spend additional money at each business who donates.
Any business that donates a minimum $100 gift card to their company and/or to their favorite local business, will be further supported by the event purchasing up to an additional 50% of the donation in gift cards to that establishment.
The Great Kelowna Scavenger Hunt impacts the community in a number of positive ways. With the way the event is set up, the impact is quickly felt beyond the positive impact on Elevation Outdoors. With 1/3 of all the money raised being invested back into our local business community through the purchase of GC for prizes there is a direct benefit to those businesses.
Your contribution will be vital to helping us succeed in planning the scavenger hunt. With your generous donation, we will be able to sponsor more youths in our outdoor programs. If you’re interested in learning how you can help our fundraiser, please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. As always, your contributions are valuable to the continuation of our cause.
Sincerely,
Corrine Wilson
