Race around Salem to benefit local refugees
Grab a few friends or family members for an adventure through downtown Salem on Saturday, May 15.
Salem for Refugees is hosting an Amazing Race-style fundraiser with teams of up to six people competing to follow clues and complete tasks while learning about local refugees. Start times are staggered from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Teams will need a car as they seek out clues in the downtown and central Salem areas. They can also raise money before the event by soliciting donations from friends and family for Salem for Refugees. The organization helps refugees resettled in the Salem area adjust to life here with help including transportation, child care, interpretation, English classes and more.
Registration is open through May 8 with a $50 fee per team. Teams that hit specific fundraising goals will have time taken off their final score.
