If you're familiar with our annual Desert Bus for Hope event in November you'll be no stranger to that shows final prize... The Mystery Box. If you're not, a little back story.
At the end of every Desert Bus for Hope, for as long as history can recall, we have given away a box of crap. We casually dumped stuff into throughout the run, and then a massive barrage of stuff at the end, made up of all the bit and bobs we used during the week.
In keeping with the spirit of the Mystery Box, each shift will have their own Mystery Box to give away made up of things our team members have found around their home, have deemed worthy for inclusion, are comfortable and willing to part with, and finally isn't too heavy to make shipping a pain in the butt.
This is Mystery Box Number the First!
