Some of St. Pete’s most beloved community supporters are teaming for an incredible – and impactful – scavenger hunt through downtown. CASA Pinellas has announced its first-ever Downtown St. Petersburg Scavenger Hunt, partnering with Ferg’s and Chad Mize to create a one-of-a-kind experience during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

The inaugural scavenger hunt takes place on Saturday, October 14, when teams of 2-10 people will compete to finish the themed scavenger hunt, while also raising funds for CASA Pinellas, our county’s certified domestic violence service provider. CASA Pinellas partnered with local celebrity artist, Chad Mize to create an exclusive design for the scavenger hunt. Participating in the scavenger hunt is the only way to snag the limited-edition Chad Mize x CASA canvas tote bag, and fundraising teams can earn Chad Mize x CASA T-shirts.

Following the scavenger hunt, Ferg’s Sports Bar & Grill is hosting the after-party, where participants will be treated to a burger and a drink of their choice, along with music, games and prizes. Early birds can score 20% off their registration fee now until September 14.
