Community Service Project

Hotel Location: Hayes AB

We’re excited to offer a special hands‑on community service experience where you and your fellow attendees will assemble Joy Jars for children in local hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses.

You’ll kick things off with a quick “pack with purpose” orientation, then jump straight into a lively, Game Show–style competition where teams race to earn toys and supplies for their kits. Expect fast-paced challenges, big laughs, and plenty of friendly rivalry — all while making a real impact for kids who need a boost.

It’s fun. It’s high‑energy. And it’s a chance to give back together in a way you’ll genuinely feel, strengthening our sense of community while brightening a child’s day.
