This 60 minute challenge begins with registration and kick off at 10:30 a.m. at Liberty Plaza in downtown Ann Arbor and ends at noon.  Volunteer teams on the streets of Ann Arbor will walk up to as many individuals as they can during this one hour period and share three quick facts about the Shelter as well as a card brigade. They will ask their new acquaintance to take a photo with them for the shelter's Social Media Blitz before moving on to share with more people in this fun FRIEND-raiser. We recommend dressing in colorful outfits to grab attention (think capes, tutus, get creative!).
