What is QUASH?

QUASH stands for the Quest to Unravel Alzheimer's, a campus-wide Scavenger Hunt. More specifically, QUASH is a part physical, part mental, campus-wide scavenger hunt that raises awareness and funds to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research.

Teams win QUASH by earning the most points. Each clue that you solve will lead you to a specific campus attraction, where you will be asked to perform a challenge or to collect detailed information. Upon completion of this task, you will earn a number of points based on the difficulty of the assignment. (You can see the number of points the clue is assigned on the QUASH card that you receive when you check in.) When you arrive at the finish line, a Q-Crew Volunteer will tally your team’s points.

And QUASH has an added bonus: that feeling you get when you do something to make the world a better place. Every QUASH participant is asked to raise $100 to benefit the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association. Like most things in life, this isn't as hard as it sounds - and we're here to help you with plenty of tips, tools and coaching from our fundraising experts.
