BBQ & Scavenger Hunt Fundraiser
Get ready for a fun new island tradition! Join Bocilla Islands Conservancy on July 3 for our first-ever summer fundraiser, bringing the community together for a festive evening of adventure, great food, and conservation.
SCHEDULE
4:00 PM Check-In Opens
4:30 PM Scavenger Hunt Begins
6:00 PM Prizes Awarded
6:00–8:00 PM BBQ Dinner • Live Music • Community Celebration
That schedule is much clearer because it tells visitors exactly what happens and when, and it emphasizes that the scavenger hunt and BBQ are separate activities while still working together as one event.
The EVENT
The event will feature a family-friendly scavenger hunt followed by an unforgettable barbecue experience with the MISSION BBQ Bama Truck (aka BAM BAM), a custom military-style barbecue truck with a built-in smoker serving up authentic BBQ made from fresh, delicious ingredients.
The IMPACT
This event is about more than just good food and fun. Proceeds will help support wildlife habitat protection, island conservation programs, and environmental stewardship efforts across the Bocilla Islands. In the spirit of MISSION BBQ’s own commitment to service, a portion of proceeds will also help honor and support the men and women who serve our communities, including veterans, first responders, and those in uniform.
Bring your family, bring your appetite, and come celebrate the holiday island-style while supporting causes that matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does my donation support?
Proceeds from this event benefit the Bocilla Islands Conservancy and help support local conservation, environmental education, habitat restoration, wildlife protection, and community stewardship programs throughout the Bocilla Islands Chain.
We have worked hard to keep this event affordable so that everyone can participate. By attending, you’re not only enjoying a fun evening with friends and family, great food, and an island adventure; you’re also helping protect the natural places and wildlife that make our islands special.
If you would like to make an additional contribution, your support will help us continue acquiring and protecting habitat, restoring native ecosystems, educating residents and visitors, and building a stronger future for conservation throughout the Bocilla Islands Chain.
Every ticket purchased helps make a difference.
Can I attend dinner without participating in the scavenger hunt?
Yes. You are welcome to attend the dinner and evening festivities without participating in the scavenger hunt by selecting the Dinner Only option.
Likewise, if you prefer, you may participate in the Scavenger Hunt Only without attending the dinner.
What is a Scavenger Hunt Entry Pass?
A Scavenger Hunt Entry Pass is your ticket to participate in the scavenger hunt. It gives you access to the scavenger hunt activities, clues, checkpoints, and eligibility for prizes and raffles while supporting the conservation mission of the Bocilla Islands Conservancy.
What prizes can participants win?
We’ve got some fun prizes planned!
Participants will have the opportunity to compete for First Place, Second Place, and Third Place, along with a variety of additional raffle prizes and special giveaways throughout the evening.
Prizes may include:
• Eco Tours and Nature Experiences
• Owl Houses and Wildlife-Friendly Garden Items
• Native Plants
• Conservation-Themed Gifts
• Sponsor Donations and Local Business Giveaways
• Family and Team Spirit Awards
• Mystery Prizes
One of the best parts? You don’t have to be the fastest team to win. In addition to our top finishers, we’ll be awarding raffle prizes and giveaways, giving everyone a chance to take home something fun while supporting conservation.
Prize offerings may continue to grow as additional sponsors and community partners join the event.
Does each participant need their own pass?
Yes. Each person who wishes to actively participate in the scavenger hunt should have their own Scavenger Hunt Entry Pass. Individual passes help us accurately track participation, manage prizes and raffles, and support the conservation programs of the Bocilla Islands Conservancy.
The scavenger hunt is designed to be a fun, family-friendly adventure rather than a race against the clock. Participants explore the island, complete missions, learn about local wildlife and conservation, and become eligible for prize drawings and raffles.
Because this is a fundraiser supporting conservation, every scavenger hunt entry helps protect and restore the Bocilla Islands Chain. Additional entries provide additional opportunities to participate in prize drawings and raffles. While there may be a special prize for one of the first teams to complete the hunt, most prizes will be awarded through raffles and drawings, giving everyone a chance to win while enjoying the experience.
Our goal is simple: have fun, learn something new, support conservation, and help protect the places and wildlife that make our islands special.
Can families participate together?
Absolutely. Families and teams are encouraged to participate together. However, each person who wishes to be eligible for individual scavenger hunt prizes, raffles, and giveaways should purchase their own Scavenger Hunt Entry Pass.
