Celebrating Our Greatest of All Time During DSP Appreciation Week | September 2026
At Residential Concepts, Inc. (RCI), we know our Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are truly the G.O.A.T.s—Greatest of All Time! During DSP Appreciation Week in September, we celebrated our incredible team with a weeklong scavenger hunt filled with surprises, friendly competition, laughter, and plenty of appreciation.
How the Hunt Worked
Throughout the week, RCI hid 120 miniature goats in various locations – throughout our facilities, releasing 24 new goats each day for employees to discover. But these weren’t just hidden in random places! The goats were strategically placed in areas where employees would naturally go while completing their everyday job responsibilities. From documentation books and laundry areas to cleaning supplies, staff never knew when a routine task might lead to an unexpected surprise!
This creative twist brought excitement to everyday responsibilities while allowing employees to participate without interrupting the important care and support they provide to the individuals we serve.
Find a Goat, Win a Prize!
Of the 120 miniature goats hidden throughout the week, 115 were numbered, with each number corresponding to a surprise prize. Employees who discovered a goat could turn it in to claim their reward. Prizes included candy, snacks, beverages, coffee, restaurant gift cards, and other fun surprises.
To make things even more exciting, five special colored goats were hidden throughout the week, with one released each day. These special goats came with bigger rewards:
- Silver, Green, Blue, and Purple G.O.A.T.s: $25 gift cards
- The Legendary Gold G.O.A.T.: A $100 gift card grand prize, released on Friday!
Daily clues, G.O.A.T. alerts, and a little friendly competition kept the excitement going as employees searched for their next discovery.
More Than Just a Scavenger Hunt
The Great RCI G.O.A.T. Hunt wasn’t simply about finding miniature goats or winning prizes. It was about creating memorable moments, bringing laughter into the workplace, building camaraderie, and showing our employees how much they mean to us.
At RCI, we recognize that our DSPs are the heart of what we do. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment make a meaningful difference in the lives of the individuals we support every single day.
Finding creative ways to recognize and celebrate our team is just one part of the positive, supportive workplace culture we strive to create.
Because at RCI, our DSPs aren’t just appreciated—they’re the G.O.A.T.s!
