“Nobody Should Freeze to Death in America”
At The Sub Zero Mission, we deliver essential warming items called our stay alive five which are winter Hats, Boots, Gloves, Coats, and Sleeping Bags.
Through our Homeless Veteran Re-Empowerment Program (HVRP), we go further: finding veterans, bringing them home, housing them, advocating for them, employing them, and empowering them—until they have the stability, dignity, and purpose they deserve. As a veteran-founded nonprofit, we stand beside those who once stood for us, providing not just warmth, but a clear path forward.
Welcome to The Scavenger Hunt!
A day full of fun, laughter, good food, and a post hunt open bar!
All for a wonderful cause, The Sub Zero Mission.
So, how does The Scavenger Hunt work? We are accepting 24 four-person teams.* You, and your three teammates will be given 30 challenges that will require your team to drive around, find, and photograph the items requested in your scavenger hunt booklet.
How long do we have to find them? Your team will be given up to three hours, from 1pm until 4pm to locate as many challenges as possible. Your team must return by 4 pm or suffer penalty points. The first team to come back with the most challenges photographed, and the highest accumulated point total, will be the winner of The Scavenger Hunt. Non-cash awards will be given to the scavenger hunt winners, as well as the team with the best headgear. (Be Creative)
What does it cost to participate? The team entry fee is $400 for your four member team. ($100 per hunter) But wait, for an additional $100 you may add a 5th person* to your team, also known as your spare tire.... (not required)
REGISTER YOUR TEAM HERE
Are there any perks with that $100? As a matter of fact there are. This registration fee includes not only the fun you're going to have, and you will have fun, but a lunch time snack, dinner, and the drinks you consume at the Black Forest from 4-7 pm. Not to mention the satisfaction of knowing all of the proceeds are going to a wonderful cause!
What time commitment is there, and what is the agenda? Come to the Black Forest patio in your matching team headgear (team costumes would be a nice touch, but not a requirement like the headgear). Registration and snacks will take place from 12 noon until 12:45. Then 15 minutes of instruction. From 1 until 4 is The Scavenger Hunt. Return to Black Forest by 4 pm, at which time, the open bar begins. Appetizers from 4-5 pm, followed by dinner and prize drawings. Open bar in place until 7 pm.
Are we looking for Sponsors? Donations? Gift Baskets? We sure are! Any support you can offer would be appreciated, and will go a long way in helping to support the efforts of The Sub Zero Mission, and we will need all the help we can muster to further that cause. (Sponsorships of $1,000 or more include a 5 person scavenger hunt team)
An extremely valuable part of the Mission is the Stay Alive Five.
