ELK HOUND, Wis.–The RCU Foundation’s Rock the Riverfront Classic Rock Hunt sponsored by Market & Johnson has come to a close.
Beau Sweitzer of Chippewa Falls found the rock hiding at Mound Hill Park in Elk Mound, Wisconsin. He and three friends were activity hunting for the rock and took time to get the clues and research them before finding the rock.
Sweitzer said he plans to put the $500 prize into his savings account for upcoming expenses.
In addition to the Classic Rock Hunt a Youth Rock Hunt held in earlier in June.
“This scavenger hunt created an opportunity for kids and families to get out and explore their communities,” the foundation said. “There was a small rock hidden in 8 different Royal Credit Union (Royal) communities. The children that found the rocks received a Royal Credit Union Piggy Bank and $50 cash.”
Rock the Riverfront featuring the Charity Classic is celebrating 30 years of running and walking to support organizations that make a difference in the communities that Royal Credit Union serves. The event will be held on Saturday, June 22, 2024, in Eau Claire’s Phoenix Park and includes a 10K and 2 mile run/walk, one-half mile and one-quarter mile youth races, family games, and food trucks. Proceeds from the 2024 Rock the Riverfront event will benefit three local animal rescue organizations: Chippewa Humane Association, Dunn County Humane Society, and Eau Claire County Humane Association.
