On Wednesday, a Hy-Vee in store in Iowa set a brand new Guinness World Record after a fundraising sale.
In a fundraising event for Camp Courageous, a recreational and respite camp for individuals with disabilities, Hy-Vee went for the record of "Most Pineapples Sold In One Hour."
One dollar from every pineapple purchased during the hour went straight to supporting Camp Courageous.
After it was all said and done, they ended up selling 2,933 pineapples, raising $2,933.
The store's director, Kyle Odem, told KCRG, “I hope we are able to raise more awareness for Camp Courageous, for folks who may not have heard about them or can look into that to see if that looks like something they want to support moving forward. They do great things and we want people to know about them."
Camp Courageous is located in Monticello, Iowa, and has been serving thousands of campers with special needs each year on their 33-acre campus.
The camp offers a ton of fully accessible and adaptive activities to help foster independence, confidence, and community; fun stuff like daptive zip-lining, canoeing along the Maquoketa River, rock climbing, archery, horseback riding, and swimming.
