Drive Detroit: Discovering the D

Posted on July 25, 2007

The DDG will be participating in an Alternatives for Girls (http://www.alternativesforgirls.org/) charity fund raiser on Sunday, September 16th. It is called Drive Detroit: Discovering the D. This is a road rally through the landmarks of Detroit. Teams compete by solving puzzles that lead to the next location and the next puzzle. The team that has accumulated the most points in the allotted time will be the winner. Lunch will be at Bagley Housing -in the heart of Mexicantown-with food provided by Whole Foods Market and dinner and awards will be at Traffic Jam and Snug. Plus there will be prizes for the top ranking teams!

Here’s where you come in.

A team consists of four or five people from one organization in one car. Each car needs to raise a minimum of $300 to participate. Since participating with Alternatives for Girls the DDG has raised over $300, so this total will be put towards one car. Please reach deep into those pockets, and help us raise the funds to bring more participants, and more help for this great organization.

Donations can be made online at http://www.firstgiving.com/DDG

You can also send in a check, made out to Alternatives for Girls, to the address below. Be sure to mention the Derby Girls so we get credit towards the event!
