Avast ye scallywags,
there's treasure to be found ... and shared!
Participants may scavenge for things around the house, go door to door in the neighborhood to get community support, stage a scavenger hunt, ask family members to put up flyers at work, post on social media or do whatever they think will help them find the best swag possible ~ legally that is ~ we’re pirates, but the good kind!
