The Empowering Center Announces Corporate Olympics
17 Jun 2011 | No Comments | posted by admin | in Events
Come join the Empowering Center at their Corporate Olympics Challenge at Trinity University Recreation Center.
The Corporate Olympics serves as a valuable resource for at-risk youth in the D.C. area. Through this event, corporations are able to show their camaraderie and support for their local communities, while raising awareness and the necessary funds to continually change the lives of the forgotten population. We cordially invite you to the 2011 Corporate Olympics, held at Trinity University on July 22, from 12pm to 4pm to support, compete, and contribute to your community.
This fun filled day of old school field day events will pit companies against other corporations in such events as Tug-o-war, kickball and soccer. These main events will allow teams to rack up medals (points) as they vie for the Corporate Gold Medal Trophy! Also, for less competitive co-workers we will have events such as corn-hole, dunk your boss booth, relays and more. Although this event has a competitive edge there is something for everyone in the office. There will be a DJ on site, beautiful grassy areas for lounging and viewing your teammates as they play in various events.
The Empowering Center for Employment and Career Development is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and empowering at-risk youth in the D.C area, by providing vocational and life skills training to increase employability. We provide intensive functional remediation in academic areas as it relates to success in the workplace for students to achieve their post secondary goals of job training, employment, and independent living.
