Vantis Corporate Challenge

photo of patric phelanDo you like being challenged? Would you like the opportunity for your team to demonstrate its ability and raise money for deserving local charities? Do you really think you have what it takes to be the best out of 100 leading companies and organisations in Leicestershire? If so you are up for the Vantis Corporate Challenge.

For the second consecutive year, we are throwing down the gauntlet to 100 leading businesses in Leicestershire and would like your organisation to take part.

Here’s the deal…

We provide you with a crisp £50 note. Your challenge is to raise as much money as possible from the £50 over a period of three months (the only rule being it must be done ethically and legally!). All the money raised will be donated to two local charities: Rainbow's Children's Hospice and Loros to help them in their efforts to achieve a difficult fund target.

The first challenge we ran raised £50,066 and we would like to build on a fantastic start and raise even more this time. We have included some examples of what some of the teams participating in last year's challenge did, to give you some ideas and inspiration and to encourage you to be as innovative and creative as possible in your approach. Awards will be given to those that are deemed the ‘most innovative idea’ as well as the ‘most money generated’ at a prestigious awards ceremony in June Companies can enter more than one team if they wish; we simply need to know the name of each team you have entered and the nominated team leader in each.

The challenge will start with a launch party on Wednesday 4 March at the Porsche Centre Leicester where drinks and canapés will be served.  This will also be a great opportunity to meet the other teams participating and to collect the all important £50 note.

The challenge will finish on 1 June. Throughout the challenge, Vantis business experts and the charity fundraisers will be on call to offer support, help and guidance should it be needed. We are hoping that not only will this raise much-needed funds for two very worthy causes but it will also generate positive PR for your company regionally and encourage excellent teamwork amongst those working on your company’s business idea. Perhaps you have a bright spark in your company and you didn’t even know it!

The challenge will end with the prestige awards event to which all participants will be invited to attend to celebrate their efforts and at which the winners will be announced.
