Team Challenge: Make Your Charity's Wishes Come True!

Most charities maintain a "wishlist" of items that would help them to help others. We've contacted all three of the Picture the Impossible charities, and worked with them to put together three wishlists of roughly comparable worth.

Through the generosity of the Rochester Area Community Foundation, this week we're able to offer up to an additional $3,000 to our charities. Factions that are able to supply all the items on their charity's wishlist will receive an extra $1000 for their charity.

You'll need to work with your faction members on this challenge, so that you don't end up with too many of some items or not enough of others.

You'll be able to drop off your items at RIT's Center for Student Innovation on Wednesday from 6-8pm. There is 20-minute parking available next to the CSI (in front of the Crossroads Cafe building, close to Parking Lot S), to make it even easier for you to drop items off. There are no points or achievements associated with this activity--just the benefit of knowing that you've helped your charity in two ways. First, by getting them items that they need, and second, by securing their share of the $3,000 from RACF.
