Local nonprofit San Diego Oasis is hosting its first-ever “Team on a Trek” fundraiser at its Grossmont Center location in La Mesa on Friday, July 28, starting at 4 p.m.

Dozens of individuals of all ages will be dressed in creative costumes and/or matching team attire to participate in an afternoon of fun and fundraising to support the organization’s mission. The inaugural three-hour event will bring together more than 20 teams that will compete to complete several fun challenges and activities throughout the mall for the opportunity to win various awards and prizes.

The surprise challenges will be varied from silly to savvy and will showcase some of the classes that San Diego Oasis offers through its Lifelong Learning and Wellness Centers. From challenges that may involve foreign languages and poetry to dance and technology, “Team on a Trek” will have activities for everyone to enjoy. In addition, participants will also enjoy live music, as well as an array of free finger food courtesy of Casa de Pico. The afternoon event will culminate with fun awards, including “Best Dressed,” “Best Team Name” and much more.

All proceeds from “Team on a Trek” will support San Diego Oasis’ mission to change the way people experience and think about aging.
