Do 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 Tees Valley? If so you are up for the Vantis Corporate Challenge.
We are throwing down the gauntlet to 100 leading businesses in Tees Valley 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: Hartlepool and District Hospice and Zoe's Place to help them in their efforts to achieve a difficult fund target.
In a similar challenge organised by our office in Leicestershire the companies managed to raise many tens of thousands of pounds for local charities, a feat we would love to replicate for our chosen causes. We have included examples 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. 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 Tuesday 24th February at the Mercedez Benz Garage 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.
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.
If you are up for the challenge and believe you have people who have got what it takes, then please register here. You can view some Examples and Frequently asked Questions. Or read the A -Z of Fundraising for the Vantis Corporate Challenge leaflet.
Many of your competitors will be on board - can you afford not to be!
We hope you will want to take part and look forward to your response.
