Brings the Community Together for Fun-Filled Fundraising

Teams comprised of friends and coworkers raced for the winning title at the Second Annual Heritage Foundation Scavenger Hunt presented by Sterling McCall Nissan and Fort Bend Toyota on June 12th. Proceeds from the event benefited the future Sugar Land Heritage Foundation Museum located on the Imperial Refinery property above the Children’s Discovery Center.

To kick off the afternoon of fun, teams arrived at Sterling McCall Nissan in Stafford at 1 pm and were handed 20 clues worth five to 30 points each leading to various locations throughout Sugar Land and its extra territorial jurisdiction. From 1:30 to 4 pm, teams were off to solve clues. When a scavenger hunt item was found, teammates snapped a photo in front of the landmark and sent the pictures back to the scavenger hunt headquarters.

Garrett Kennell won the raffle: a Nissan for the weekend!

Team members learned about the history of Sugar Land as they searched for the destinations, which included the University of Houston at Sugar Land, Sweetwater Country Club, Sugar Land Regional Airport, Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land and more.

The hunt ended at 4 pm when team members arrived at Sterling McCall Toyota in Richmond for a celebratory reception with drinks, libations and appetizers. Team Super Focus represented Fort Bend Focus Magazine as a proud media sponsor and winner of the hunt! Fort Bend Focus will have its name imprinted on a brick reclaimed from the historical Imperial refinery site and displayed in the Sugar Land Heritage Museum.
