Lake Region Healthcare & Chamber to Sponsor first ever Corporate Cup Competition

Event designed to promote team building, fitness & camaraderie in the workplace

[January 8, 2015 Fergus Falls, MN] Lake Region Healthcare (LRH) and the Fergus Falls Area Chamber of Commerce are excited to announce the first annual Fergus Falls Corporate Cup will be held as part of the Frostbite Festival Events in Fergus Falls on January 30th.

“The purpose of the Corporate Cup is to promote team building, fitness and camaraderie within the workplace,” said Chamber Executive Director, Lisa Workman.  “The Corporate Cup offers something suitable for all fitness levels and abilities,” she added.

Area businesses are encouraged to form teams comprised of 6 to 15 participants with at least 3 females per team. Team members must be employed by the sponsoring company but can include employee spouses or children 18 years of age or older.  The Corporate teams will compete for the title: Most Physically Fit Company in the area and a coveted Corporate Cup trophy which will be kept in the winner’s local business on display until the team is invited to defend their title the following year.

“We really want businesses to have fun with the event by choosing creative names and working together to acquire the most points,” said LRH Wellness Coordinator, Natalie Knutson. “Points can be earned in the team events which include things like basketball shooting, swimming, sledding and snow boot relays, spinning, and secret team building events. But they can also be earned by including older team members, recruiting volunteers and sharing social media status updates during the event,” she added.  It will kick off at the Chamber’s Club 505 at The Eagles Club at 5pm on Friday, January 30th and conclude around 8:30 that evening.

Teams must register by January 12th, but full team rosters are not due until January 23rd. All participants will receive a commemorative pom-pom stocking hat. Registration details are available at www.lrhc.org or by contacting Natalie Knutson at 218-736-8451 or nknutson@lrhc.org.
