Hike & Seek for Research

Join the School of Medicine for Hike & Seek for Research, a fundraising event and scavenger hunt in the Cleveland Metroparks’ Brecksville Reservation (9000 Chippewa Creek Dr.) Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event will benefit the Research Institute for Children’s Health.

Upon check-in at the reservation’s Nature Center or Oak Grove Picnic Shelter, guests will receive a Hike & Seek for Research bandana and a “seek” list. Attendees can post “found” items on social media to win prizes, including one of five $100 gift cards from L.L.Bean, ice cream from Pierre’s or CWRU School of Medicine backpacks.

The cost to participate is a $20 donation for those ages 10 and up or $50 per family before the event ($10 more day of event). Register for the event through Eventbrite.
