High-tech Scavenger Hunting Meets Bling!

Springfield, Missouri – September 23, 2009 – Hundreds of bling seekers will converge on downtown Springfield Saturday, October 10, 2009 in search of answers to clues that will result in a $10,000 diamond ring prize.

Sponsored by Justice Jewelers, Diamond Dash is a fundraiser for Camp Barnabas. The event begins at 10 a.m. at the East Plaza Amphitheater at Jordan Valley Park and concludes with a celebration at 2:30 p.m. at Justice Jewelers, 3520 E. Battlefield in Springfield.

Teams of two will receive clues and riddles via text message directing them to local landmarks where they will answer specific questions and score points toward winning the diamond ring. Any mode of transportation is encouraged except automobiles. Teams are encouraged to be very creative in their participation.

According to Woody Justice of Justice Jewelers, the sponsor of the event, “This is a high-tech event that is sweeping the bridal jewelry industry. As the leader in bridal jewelry in southwest Missouri, Justice Jewelers wanted to be the first to bring this exciting event to the Ozarks.”

Participants may register in advance online at www.justicejewelersdiamonddash.com. All of the $25 entry fee goes directly to support the programs of Camp Barnabas. Located one hour west of Springfield, this organization offers life-changing opportunities for people with special needs in a Christian camp setting.

“We are expecting 200 teams to participate. We felt like this would be a great opportunity to involve Camp Barnabas. Ever since I first visited the camp, I knew this was the major charity that Justice Jewelers would support. Giving kids with special needs the chance to be kids is something everyone is proud to be involved in. Each year, our company gives over $20,000 to camp from donations we receive through changing watch batteries for our customers.”

Additional sponsors of the event are the Springfield Cardinals, It’s All Downtown, the City of Springfield, the Marketing Club of Missouri State University, KTTS 94.7FM and Power 96.5.
