Help Out Big Brothers And Sisters In “The Big Pursuit” This Weekend!
By Sheldon Spackman
After 36 years of hosting the Bowl for Kids fundraiser each year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Red Deer and District is now switching gears and presenting it’s inaugural “Big Pursuit” this weekend. The organization’s biggest fundraiser of the year takes place throughout the City of Red Deer from 12:00 pm – 6:30 pm on Sunday, April 23rd and stands to be a lot of fun.
Organizers from Youth HQ say competing teams take off at 1:00 pm and complete challenges with prizes & pizza at 5:00 pm! You can get a team of four people together and discover Red Deer in a way you never have before! The Big Pursuit is a timed event where teams follow clues to checkpoints throughout Red Deer. There are a variety of activities, some are completed by one individual, while others may require full team participation. Teams are expected to return to the Sheraton at the end of the race!
Funds raised from registered participants will go to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Red Deer and District and help them with the many programs and services they provide to their clients. Event Coordinator John Johnston says this year’s fundraising goal is $60,000. He says they’re hoping for 50 teams to register for the inaugural on Sunday, with 44 already registered at the time of this writing.
