The Ultimate Team Challenge Returns June 17!

Local residents, in teams of 10, will tackle Norwood's own version of a 'Survivor Obstacle Course' in the Ultimate Team Challenge! The event will take place on Saturday, June 17, 11 a.m., at Norwood High School. For the afternoon, the Mustangs' football field will be transformed into an innovative, challenging, and often quirky, obstacle course.
The annual fundraiser will raise funds the Bay State Animal Cooperative. The Norwood-based organization is a non-profile, volunteer cat rescue group looking to finance a local adoption center.
The challenge will consist of 'Dream Teams,' consisting of 10 members, that will compete in head-to-head contests. The course will include 10 stages of physical and entertaining obstacles for each team to maneuver and the fastest team of the day will be crowned The Ultimate Challengers! Participants will range from 16 year olds to adults, and each team will be required to submit $1,000 to enter the race. A $300 non-refundable deposit is required by June 10, to secure their spot in the event.
This is still time to form a team and join in the event! Looking for a challenge but don't have an entire group? No problem! Singles and groups of people can be coordinated to join another team short of 10 members. Contact Laurie Shea, at laurieshea@live.com.
There are other ways to join in the fun beside running the obstacle course. The organizers are currently recruiting some helpful hands to assist on the sidelines with the event. Interested parties should contact Laurie Shea at laurieshea@live.com.
Monetary donations will also be accepted the day of the event. In lieu of admission, spectators are also encouraged to bring dry and canned food and cat litter to help support the felines in feral colonies and in foster care through BSAC.
All money raised from the event will be donated directly to the Bay State Animal Cooperative (BSAC). BSAC is a 501 (c) 3 charitable/non-profit organization that practices a no-kill philosophy while providing resources and services to reducing animal overpopulation and unnecessary suffering for companion, stray, relinquished and feral animals.
The BSAC is funded exclusively by donations and operates entirely by the works of selfless volunteers.
