“ASCK attributes this fundraising increase to many factors, one of them being the introduction of the Forget-Me-Not Scavenger Hunt.,” the release said. “This new event was in support of the virtual walk, allowing ASCK to offer something that embodied the spirit of in-person walks which have been deeply missed during the pandemic.”
