Rock the Riverfront Rock Hunts End in Excitement

EAU CLAIRE – Wis. – The RCU Foundation’s Rock the Riverfront Classic Rock Hunt sponsored by Market & Johnson ended on the evening of Friday, June 25.  Wyatt Eiden and three friends from Chippewa Falls found the rock hiding along the Ice Age Trail near the Chippewa Moraine State Recreation Area in New Auburn, WI (Chippewa County). The four young men enjoyed what has become their summer tradition and plan to split the $500 award evenly. 

In addition to the Classic Rock Hunt a Youth Rock Hunt held in earlier In June this year.  This scavenger hunt created an opportunity for kids and families to get out and explore their communities.  There were 3 rocks hidden across 6 Royal Credit Union communities, for a total of 18 rocks. A total of 15 Youth Rocks were found during the contest timeframe and each winner received a Royal Credit Union Piggy Bank and $40 cash!

Rock the Riverfront featuring the Charity Classic celebrated 27 years of running or walking for a reason and supporting non-profit organizations.  This year’s walk/run portion of the event was virtual with proceeds from the event benefitting three partner charities: The Heyde Center for the Arts in Chippewa Falls, Chippewa Valley Theatre Guild in Eau Claire and Northern Star Theatre Company in Rice Lake

The RCU Foundation thanks Market & Johnson for sponsoring the Classic Rock Hunt and the Youth Rock Hunt.  The 2022 Rock the Riverfront featuring the Charity Classic run/walk will take place in Phoenix Park on June 25.   More information is available at www.rcu.org/Race.
