Charity fund-raisers can sometimes be dull affairs, but last weekend's Charity Challenge XX at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs had a spring break party atmosphere that drew hundreds of young people into the giving game.

The event pitted more than 100 teams of hospitality workers and apartment dwellers against one another in six athletic contests. With rock music blaring from loudspeakers, bathing suit-clad twentysomethings also played beach volleyball, shot hoops, raced canoes and inner tubes, played tug-of-war and ran an obstacle course to benefit roughly 100 local charities.
