The Results

Thank you all for your patience while the points were tallied, the photos were scrutinized, and the pledge dollars were counted.

On November 19th, there was an award ceremony/slide show in Atlanta for all Non-Rev Challenge participants.  Unfortunately, none of us Bozoners could attend.  But our new Best Friend/Mortal Enemy JoAnn Johnson acted as our eyes and ears at this event.  You might remember JoAnn from our October Blog post "Encountering the Enemy".  Joann took a few photos of the event and sent them to us.

So how did it all turn out?

The Bozoners finished in 21st place (out of 44 teams).  The winning team, with a WHOPPING 2,664 POINTS, was the Rain City Non-Revvers from Seattle.  Us Bozoners are utterly AMAZED at this feat!  We know how much we traveled and scrambled to score just under 800 points.  But 2,664 points?  We bow down to your greatness, Rain City Non-Revvers!

But the Bozoners did not walk away unrecognized!  We won special recognition for "Best Team Photo" (see September Blog post "The Props"--it was the photo of the five of us at the wind turbines with our cowboy hats, fur coats, and American flag).  We also won special recognition for "Best Blog."

The entire Non-Rev Challenge event raised over $20,000 for the United Way.  For a viewing of the complete slide-show from the Awards Ceremony, please visit www.nonrevchallenge.com and click on the tab that says "2010 Awards Ceremony."

Thanks again to all of you who helped us out along the way--either by helping us out with exact photo  locations, transportation needs, United Way pledges, or by providing a place to crash when we arrived in your town.

We'll keep you posted about next year's competition.  Until then, we remain your adventurous friends--
