What do Carson City Saloon, Fire Station #24 and Nakama all have in common?!
Join us and FIND OUT!! Dash 4 Diamonds is a scavenger hunt covering one of the best, most interesting and diverse neighborhoods that Pittsburgh has to offer.
You will trek through the South Side of Pittsburgh with your team, collecting everything imaginable in a race against the clock, all in the name of raising money for Penn State’s Dance Marathon which raises funds to combat pediatric cancer. What better way to spend a Saturday fall afternoon after watching the afternoon football games than raising money, For The Kids!!
With over 50 places to go and things to do and some fun surprises along the way, Dash 4 Diamonds includes stops at all your favorite places along East Carson St. It is sure to be a great event and a great way to raise money for pediatric cancer. $25 per person to enter, must have a minimum of 4 people per team. (each member will register separately- so pick a creative team name now!) For solo entrants or those with less than 4 people, we will pair you up with another group!
Specials at selected establishments, a rockin’ t-shirt and of course trophies and medals for the top three teams.
