Corporate Cup Reception tonight at Griffin - Canceled!!

 

Due to the snow, this event has been canceled.

The 2010 edition of the Community Corporate Cup sponsored by Griffin Hospital and put on by Valley United Way, Valley YMCA and the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce begins with a Kickoff Reception tonight at the Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital. It's fitting that while the world's attention is focused on the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, we are starting our local version of a corporate mini-olympic style event. In our case, the emphasis is on improving health through a series of fun and healthy events requiring varying degrees of athletic ability.Tonight's event is informational in nature with the presentation of all the materials and information that participants will need to get involved this year. 

Perkin Elmer is the three-time defending champion, but they should have plenty of competition this year with several other former winners in the field, and some new participants ready to enter the field.

The actual competition begins next week with the Healthy Team Pre-testing and will end with an Awards Reception in June. Along the way corporations will compete for titles in individual events while racking up points for the overall Cup title. Participation is the key to victory in the Corporate Cup, though winning individual events never hurts.

You can follow the Corporate Cup on its own website throughout the competition. there will be stories,  plenty of pictures, some video and the latest standings to help keep you motivated.
