Play #Go4GoodVT to Win a $100 Gift Card!
DEADLINE EXTENDED!
Catch ‘em all and build a stronger community!
City Market challenges you to explore the non-profits in our community while catching Pokémon! We partner with 20 awesome Community Outreach Partners in the Burlington area that do great work every day. Enter our giveaway by playing Pokémon Go at their locations and be eligible to win our grand prize: a $100 gift card to City Market!
Please remember to use common sense and respect while playing. Some of these sites are active farms and gardens, so be mindful of crops, animals, and electric fences!
How it Works
Visit a non-profit from our list and search for Pokémon, then share your adventure with friends using the hashtag #Go4GoodVT. There are three ways to earn points:
- Take a photo at the site and share it (+1 point)
- Find a Pokémon at the site, screenshot it and share it (+2 points)
- Share a fun fact about the non-profit when you share it (+3 points)
Total possible points per location: 6! Each point earns you an entry in our giveaway. Entries can be shared on Facebook (must be publicly shared on City Market's Page), Twitter or Instagram and must include the hashtag #Go4GoodVT to be eligible. Limit 6 points maximum per location per person.
The contest runs July 22 – August 4. EXTENDED! Deadline August 11. Winners will be announced on Friday, August 12.
Prizes!
Winners will be selected at random based on all points earned by players.
- Grand Prize: $100 gift card to City Market

*What are Community Outreach Partners? Glad you asked! These organizations partner with City Market to provide volunteer opportunities for our members. “Member Workers”, as we call them, receive a discount on groceries back at the store – up to 12% off – by volunteering just a few hours each month. Pretty cool, right? Learn more about this program here.
