Corporate Cup Games
Looking for a great way to build company spirit and a sense of camaraderie at your workplace? Look no further than the Y's Corporate Cup Games!
The Games are an Olympic-style, co-ed team competition that celebrates health and wellness in the workplace while emphasizing team work, communication and team building. We meet these goals through friendly competition in events that focus on togetherness and fun.
To compete in all events teams must consist of 18-32 members (at least 6 females). The Games are open to all local companies. Participants must be 18 years old and regular employees. Employee spouses are allowed to participate (up to 50% of the team’s roster). We give awards to the top teams in each event, and the overall winner earns bragging rights and the Oscar Brock Memorial Cup Trophy for the year. To encourage participants to adopt a healthy lifestyle, team members receive a limited Y membership.
Thank you 2016 Sponsors
