SCTH partners with SCEF
In what has been a long time coming, myself and Dr. Young of Young Orthodontics are proud to announce that San Carlos Treasure Hunters has partnered with the San Carlos Educational Foundation for the benefit of San Carlos schools. This very unique and special version of San Carlos Treasure Hunters is for parents, only. We completed our sixth year of San Carlos Treasure Hunters on October 29th. A record 72 teams, totaling 230 kids and 120 parents competed for the ultimate prize. After hearing the requests for several years, we were finally able to put together San Carlos Treasure Hunters….for Parents. While the normal San Carlos Treasure Hunters (for kids) is always free, the parents’ version will have team spots that can be purchased through Spring Fling. There will also be two very special Platinum Teams which can be purchased during the live auction segment of Spring Fling (see more on the Platinum Teams further down in the post).
How It Works
The parents’ version works in a similar fashion to the regular San Carlos Treasure Hunters. Teams of four will study the San Carlos History Book, which will be provided to each team. Teams will also study San Carlos parks and any other materials associated with this year’s story, The Legendary J.P Harlow And The Treasure of 1929.
The event is scheduled for the evening of Saturday, May 19th. This also happens to be the Saturday of Hometown Days. The event will kick-off at 5:30 at Burton Park. The first team to find all ten hidden clues around the city and solve the mystery of J.P Harlow, will find the treasure chest keys and receive a fabulous prize.
The Pre & Post Parties
We want everyone to have fun. If you choose to have some adult beverages at the Pre & Post Parties, please make sure that one of your team members is the designated driver for the entire night. This is the one rule that will be strictly enforced. The hunt will end with the post party at The Office Bar and Grill. The winning team will be revealed and we will go over all clues and put the whole thing together for you.
Purchasing a Team
Purchasing a team is a fantastic way to support San Carlos schools. Teams can be bought out for $500. Teams are allowed four players. Get together three friends and the cost is only $125, each…..or two couples can each pay $250 and form a team. Teams can be purchased at Spring Fling. There will also be an option forthcoming through the Spring Fling site, which will allow you to purchase a team in advance. Please note that we are only accepting the first 25 teams.
Two Platinum Teams
The live auction at Spring Fling will allow you the opportunity to purchase one of two Platinum Teams. If you have already purchased a regular team, you can upgrade your team to a Platinum Team by having your $500 purchase apply to any live auction bid for one of the Platinum Teams.
There are two Platinum teams that will be up for bid during the live auction. No need to worry about a designated driver, as I will be your designated driver for one of the teams, and Mayor Andy Klein will be the other. Team Bredel or Team Klein….the choice is yours. We both know San Carlos very well and will get you to your destinations in record time (while abiding by all posted speed limits, of course). We will take care of your every need during the hunt so that you can focus on winning. Additionally, both teams will receive a personal crash course study session prior to the hunt and VIP apparel.
Please watch the San Carlos Blog for more details as we get closer to Spring Fling on March 3rd.
