Two more teams make the cut

We're excited to announce that two more teams have fundraised their way to the final race. A special thanks to those teams--Adventure Guys and Team Tower, who each raised more than $1,500 to make it into the final race on July 21. Way to go!

Teams should keep fundraising for another week...there's still the opportunity to win a fast-forward. The top 3 fundraising teams will earn a fast-forward, allowing them to skip any one challenge along the race route.

And don't forget that the top fundraising team (who isn't the grand prize winner) will win an awesome prize as well--two Iceland Airline tickets.

Thanks to everyone who has been a part of The MOST Amazing Race. We here at The Salvation Army are humbled by your generosity and willingness to help us in the fight against homelessness and hunger!
