Mystery Egg Hunt
Benefit Set April 9
Brave Heart Volunteers will host a Mystery Egg Hunt 10 a.m.-2:15 p.m. Saturday, April 9, at the BHV building, 120 Katlian Street.
‘‘The fundraiser is a fun, family-friendly scavenger hunt for clues,’’ organizers said. Cash door prizes will be $200, $100 and $50.
Those who make a donation to BHV between 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. will receive an entry form. One form will be given per donation.
Donations can be made in person by check or cash, or ahead of time on the website (braveheartvolunteers.org). Participants should take a receipt if they donate early.
Walkers will follow the clues in the order they’re given. Once an answer is found, they will fill in the corresponding blank on the entry form, and continue on.
The event is not a race. Safety and mindfulness of traffic are essential, BHV said.
Completed forms must be returned to BHV by 2:15 p.m. Answers must be correct to be entered into the drawing for the cash door prizes.
