Community Events and Fundraisers


A big part of Corporate Challenge is giving back to the community. Participating companies will have the opportunity to make an impact by taking part in our Blood Drive Challenge, raising funds for the Heart & Stroke Assn. and the Stollery, not to mention contributing to our Corporate Challenge raffle, and raising funds for a variety of causes.

Many of these events earn companies valuable SPIRIT or PARTICIPATION points, but the real win is making a difference in our community.

KINDNESS

ACTS OF KINDNESS

​
A lighthearted competition that gets your team SPIRIT points while putting a smile on someone's face! Your team can perform random Acts of Kindness on a friend, family member, a coworker, neighbour, charity or even an unsuspecting stranger. Donate to the Food Bank, volunteer at a pet rescue, send a card to a friend who needs a lift, buy the person behind you in line a coffee... no Act is too small to count. Perform an Act of Kindness and tell us about it! Simple as that.
