Game on! It’s time to dive into the competition!
Once you receive our email with the contact information of your team members on August 10, 2020, you can get going on the Starting Line challenges, designed to connect you with your team and get you set up for the rest of the game. You will have until August 21, 2020 at 11:59 PDT to complete as many of the challenges as you can.
Remember- none of the challenges are required and it’s not a race- but the more you complete the closer you are to winning the grand prize for your cause!
