The Great Pup Pursuit Scavenger Hunt Fundraiser

On a sunny April afternoon, downtown Kent buzzed with excitement as teams participated in the charity event, the third Great Pup Pursuit, benefiting Rescue330. Starting at Beware of the Leopard, participants hit the streets for three hours filled with trivia, creative challenges, and a strong sense of community spirit, all aimed at raising funds for rescue pets in Northeast Ohio.

Teams faced a variety of challenges throughout Kent, including a closest-to-the-pin competition at Tee'd Off Golf, where everyone channeled their inner pro. However, the real competition intensified off the course — this year's Great Pup Pursuit added a team fundraising component where every dollar raised contributed to points on the leaderboard, transforming donors into teammates and raising the stakes like never before. From word scrambles to photo challenges and hidden QR codes, each moment was uniquely exciting.

After three hours of adventure, teams reconvened at Beware of the Leopard for an exhilarating after-party celebration. Congratulations to our winning team, AltDenk — your strategy, hustle, and impressive fundraising skills earned you the top honors and plenty of bragging rights! Together, participants and donors raised $4,071 for Rescue330's medical fund, directly aiding the rescue dogs and cats in our care.
