Crystal D, a Leading Supplier of Corporate Awards and Plaques, to Compete in The MOST Amazing Race
June 18, 2009 – St. Paul, Minn. – www.crystal-d.com – Crystal D, a leading supplier of corporate awards and plaques, will be participating in The Salvation Army’s The 2009 MOST Amazing Race on July 25. This fourth annual fundraising event benefits The Salvation Army’s Bed and Bread Club®, which helps alleviate hunger and homelessness in the Twin Cities.
Bridget Dahlgren, marketing coordinator, and Angela Wurst, marketing coordinator, at Crystal D will be participating in The MOST Amazing Race patterned after the TV show The Amazing Race.
The scavenger hunt-like race includes a qualifying round in the morning with no more than 20 teams of two people competing in the final race in the afternoon. Participants will be given a clue leading them to checkpoints throughout Minneapolis and requires them to use only Metro Transit as transportation throughout the race. Upon arriving at the checkpoints, racers will be required to complete a physical or mental challenge before receiving the clue to the next checkpoint.
Teams are asked to fundraise as part of the race. Teams raising $1,000 or more receive a one-minute head start at the qualifying race and teams raising $2,000 or more automatically qualify for the final race.
“We are both very excited to participate in such a unique fundraising activity for The Salvation Army,” says Bridget Dahlgren, marketing coordinator. “The MOST Amazing Race is a great way for Crystal D to fundraise as a team and show our commitment to the Twin Cities community.”
This is the first year Crystal D has participated in The Most Amazing Race. To donate to Crystal D’s team, click here: http://give.salvationarmyusa.org/site/TR/MostAmazingRace/USC_NOR?pg=team....
