The fundraiser is an urban adventure that challenges the knowledge Hamiltonians have for their city. It consists of teams of two who solve clues about Hamilton, photograph themselves at the clue locations, and reach the finish line for a chance to win prizes provided by Hamilton businesses. It’s similar to the Amazing Race but without the challenges at each location. The first place team will receive two iPads that were generously donated by members of the Hamilton business community.

Event details:

• Saturday, July 24, 2010

All proceeds will be donated to the Art Gallery of Hamilton’s Art Without Barriers Summer Camp. The camp program invites principals and/or teachers from high-needs neighbourhood schools to identify children who would most benefit from attending this special camp; the camp includes breakfast, lunch and snacks, a week of art-making with artist-educators, and a kit of art-making supplies to use at home.
