Info about the race:
The Austin Association of Facility and Maintenance Engineers (AAFAME) announces a call for teams and sponsors for its 2nd annual fund raising event: the AAFAME Adventure Quest urban race benefiting Angelheart Children’s Shelter’s Energy Makeover.

This year’s race is scheduled for May 31st, 2008. Competitive & Amateur teams of 2 members are invited to compete by completing various tasks and puzzles throughout downtown Austin. This year’s course promises to be challenging and fun for all. This is one of the most unique and fun races to be found in the Austin area and includes obstacles like the flame thrower, the brain drain, amazon extreme and a wheelbarrow race. There are even a few secret checkpoints to challenge not only participant’s endurance but their skills and ability to “think on their feet”.

The purpose of the race is twofold. Firstly; to provide a gift that keeps on giving to the Angelheart Children’s Shelter; an Energy Makeover. This makeover will provide green initiatives, and energy efficient equipment that will lower the total costs of operations for the shelter from now and into the future. Secondly; the members of AAFAME, participants, and other commercial real estate organizations will gain greater familiarization and awareness of downtown Austin and member’s buildings inside the Central Business District.

The Angleheart Children’s Shelter offers food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and most importantly and new found sense of comfort and security to children from newborn to 18 years of age. The shelter is staffed around the clock and provides continuous support to over 300 children per year.
