The United Way of the Brazos Valley is hosting a free end-of-summer scavenger hunt for families to help raise awareness of United Way’s impact and the nonprofits they support. Families can complete the scavenger hunts at their own pace over a three week period from July 20 to Aug. 7, and the scavenger hunts can be completed inside of vehicles.
Each week, families can visit www.uwbv.org/uwscavengerhunt to download clues that take them to various locations around Bryan College Station. Scavenger hunt locations include United Way’s funded nonprofits and companies that support the United Way of the Brazos Valley, as well as staples in the B/CS community. Parents will be able to read a brief summary about the location and how they give back to the community. Special signs will mark the clue locations.
There will be three sets of clues, one each week over three consecutive weeks. Each week will have a theme that represents United Way’s three areas of impact. Families can participate in one or all of the scavenger hunts.
- Education Week: July 20 – July 24
- Financial Stability Week: July 27 – July 31
- Health Week: Aug. 3 – Aug. 7
Families can register to receive clues and updates directly to their email by visiting www.uwbv.org/uwscavengerhunt or by texting UWScavengerHunt to 41444.
The United Way Scavenger Hunt is free to the public to participate in, however residents can make a donation to support the United Way of the Brazos Valley and their impact at www.uwbv.org.
