Make-A-Wish is a non-profit organization that grants life-changing wishes to children facing critical illnesses. The organization was founded in 1980 with a simple mission - to create hope and joy for children battling serious medical conditions. Through the generosity of donors, volunteers, and dedicated staff, Make-A-Wish has been able to grant thousands of wishes to children across the United States and around the world.
Over a delightful weekend, Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana embarked on a heartwarming journey with PlayTours for their much-anticipated "Walk For Wishes" event. Held at the picturesque Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, the event aimed to raise funds and fulfill the dreams of children facing critical illnesses. Participants were invited to partake in an engaging scavenger hunt that seamlessly blended fun, adventure, and philanthropy. Throughout the event, attendees captured precious moments, answered trivia questions, and completed booth activities, all while exploring the zoo's magnificent surroundings.
The challenge that the Make-A-Wish team faced was to execute a seamless and exciting scavenger hunt without getting bogged down by time-consuming administrative tasks. They had to overcome a significant hurdle – how to ensure that the event would be efficient and well-organized without wasting too much time planning scavenger hunt and team-building activities from scratch. They needed a user-friendly and efficient platform that would enable smooth participant engagement and an unforgettable experience for all.
