Teams Are Plugging Along
Teams are plugging along trying to accomplish as much as possible in the twenty four hours. They think they are going to finish it all, but I am confident that they won’t. I know that each team has a strong representation of dedication, passionate, smart individuals, but I must say Taryn created riddles that challenge even an individual with the highest IQ. Some of the clues included:
BE AN ACTIVE CITIZEN:
1. What event on campus helped Lynn become the number one University for online donations?
2. If you wanted to volunteer at a local food kitchen, where would you go? Take a picture with 15 bare toes in it, from your team, in front of their Boca Raton headquarters.
3. What was the name of the event FAU, Lynn and PBCC just co-sponsored together at FAU?
4. Register your entire team with www.savedarfur.org to ask President Obama to act now and stop the genocide in Darfur. Bring us the confirmation print outs.
But the list alone wasn’t their only tasks. Between 12am and 7am this morning they are receiving text messages every hour on the hour to accomplish a task. No team is required to complete every task, but the big bonus points definitely encourages them to do so.
Text Message Challenges:
1. Collect 20 canned goods (5 different variety) and bring them to the Elks Lodge in Boca Raton by 1:45am to donate to Students for the Poor to receive 10 points.
2. Collect 2 shirts, 2 jeans, and one pair of shoes and bring them to the Army Navy Store in West Boca by 5:15am to donate to Students for the Poor to receive 15 points.
3. Count the amount of speed bumps on campus and text the number by 3:35am to receive 10 points.
Fatigue was rarely noticed on the faces of the players. They were running full force to complete as much as possible. They were having so much fun and bleeding blue and white as their pride for Lynn was represented around the community…..who will win???
