We challenge each family to get outside, step away from screens, beat the gloom of the winter weather, and stay committed to keeping ourselves active and connected with each other and the great outdoors.

Share with us what your story was about! #alkiathon

Example: My father had a grocery store and the first thing he sold was a bag of S.L. Others take turns guesses what these initials could mean (Shredded Lettuce). Having trouble guessing? Share which department your item is in at the grocery store. Other items from the store for guessing could be in jars, boxes, cans, etc!

Take the game to the community and share with us your best clue! Join the Alki Seagulls Facebook Group page!

Example: California Avenue - California makes me think of surfing. Surfing makes me think of Hawaii. Hawaii makes me think of Pineapples. Pineapples makes me think of Pizza. Keep playing until you reach a new street or you run out of ideas!

Have you been stuffing your kids' piggy banks with coins each day to encourage them to get outside, away from screens?

Is your piggy bank full? We have the answer! Call the Alki-A-Thon Banker!! Schedule a pickup by emailing alkiathon@alkipta.com
