<strong>Welcome</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> <strong>2013</strong><br />

This year, we are proudly celebrating <strong>the</strong> competition’s 25th anniversary. When it was launched a quarter<br />

of a century ago, <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> had one simple goal in mind: <strong>to</strong> bring Oklahoma City businesses<br />

and <strong>the</strong>ir employees <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r for a weekend of athletic competition, team-building and general goodwill.<br />

The event has evolved over time, raising money for charity and boosting physical fitness awareness, but<br />

at its heart, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> remains <strong>the</strong> same, bringing good people <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> do great things.<br />

Once again, <strong>the</strong> event will raise money for a great charitable cause, <strong>the</strong> UCO Endeavor Games, which is an<br />

athletic competition for athletes with physical disabilities. Last year, we raised more than $50,000 for <strong>the</strong><br />

games and this year, we hope <strong>to</strong> exceed that <strong>to</strong>tal with <strong>the</strong> help of <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> participants.<br />

This packet will provide you with an overview of <strong>the</strong> three-day competition, including athletic events,<br />

awards, general rules and company sponsorship packages. It also includes registration information <strong>to</strong><br />

help get your company started <strong>to</strong>day. Please turn in your registration forms no later than<br />

March 13, <strong>2013</strong>. A luncheon for team captains will be scheduled shortly <strong>the</strong>reafter<br />

<strong>to</strong> distribute additional information and answer questions.<br />

Staging a three-day athletic competition for dozens of businesses and hundreds of employees is no<br />

small task and requires many players. We greatly appreciate <strong>the</strong> support provided by our many longtime<br />

<strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> partners and we look forward <strong>to</strong> welcoming our new participants. Whe<strong>the</strong>r you<br />

come for <strong>the</strong> competition or <strong>the</strong> camaraderie, we know you and your organization will benefit from <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong>.<br />

For <strong>the</strong> last quarter century, we have been “Breaking Boundaries” <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> help make our community<br />

a better place. We look forward <strong>to</strong> continuing that tradition as we celebrate <strong>the</strong> 25th anniversary of <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong>.<br />

Thank you again for all of your support.<br />

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate <strong>to</strong> contact me.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

The 14th Annual UCO EndeavorGames<br />

for athletes with Physical Disabilities - June 6-9, <strong>2013</strong><br />

Dear Potential <strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> Company Representative:<br />

Beginning in 2011, <strong>the</strong> <strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> went <strong>to</strong> a new level by adding<br />

philanthropic activities <strong>to</strong> an already wonderful event. As part of this initiative, teams<br />

competing in <strong>the</strong> <strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> now generate financial support for<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r great local event, <strong>the</strong> University of Central Oklahoma Endeavor Games.<br />

The University of Central Oklahoma’s annual Endeavor Games provides children, adults and<br />

military service members with physical disabilities opportunities <strong>to</strong> display <strong>the</strong>ir talents in an<br />

appropriate and competitive setting, against individuals with similar disabilities. The event is <strong>the</strong><br />

largest of its kind in <strong>the</strong> country. Athletes compete in archery, wheelchair basketball, powerlifting,<br />

cycling, shooting, track and field, sitting volleyball, table tennis and triathlon. This year’s Endeavor<br />

Games takes place <strong>the</strong> week following <strong>the</strong> <strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong>, on June 6-9, <strong>2013</strong>.<br />

Over <strong>the</strong> past two years, <strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong>-participating companies have raised<br />

more than $86,000 <strong>to</strong> benefit <strong>the</strong> Endeavor Games with more than $54,000 donated during 2012.<br />

These funds supported <strong>the</strong> event in a variety of ways, including providing scholarships,<br />

adaptive sports equipment and awards for <strong>the</strong> competi<strong>to</strong>rs. Additionally, that money also<br />

helped <strong>the</strong> Endeavor Games continue <strong>to</strong> host record numbers of local, national and<br />

even international sports competi<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />

As <strong>the</strong> <strong>2013</strong> <strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> draws closer, I want <strong>to</strong> thank you in advance<br />

for your support of <strong>the</strong>se outstanding disabled athletes. Your support truly made a difference<br />

in 2011 and 2012, and I can’t wait <strong>to</strong> be blown away once again in <strong>2013</strong>! I highly<br />

encourage you <strong>to</strong> view <strong>the</strong> enclosed DVD <strong>to</strong> fully understand <strong>the</strong> power and inspiration of<br />

<strong>the</strong>se amazing athletes. If you have any fur<strong>the</strong>r questions about <strong>the</strong> UCO Endeavor<br />

Games or if I may assist you with fundraising efforts in some way, please feel free <strong>to</strong><br />

contact me directly at 974-3137 or cmoore@uco.edu.<br />

“<strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong><br />

<strong>Challenge</strong> is an event where<br />

you can compete and show<br />

your talent as an athlete in<br />

several different events. It’s<br />

a challenge for your company<br />

<strong>to</strong> be dubbed <strong>the</strong> best of your<br />

division. It’s an event I look<br />

forward <strong>to</strong> every year because<br />

it’s a great time <strong>to</strong> be with<br />

your co-workers and I love <strong>the</strong><br />

fact that it gives back <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

community through <strong>the</strong> UCO<br />

Endeavor Games!”<br />

“<strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> <strong>to</strong> me is a<br />

weekend of fellowship with friends that work at<br />

Hertz, that I do not see on a day-<strong>to</strong>-day basis.<br />

Seeing <strong>the</strong> people from o<strong>the</strong>r participating OKC<br />

companies that have become friends over <strong>the</strong><br />

many years of competing in <strong>Corporate</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> is<br />

always fun as well. Good Times……Great People.”<br />

“This was our company’s<br />

first year participating in<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>OU</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Corporate</strong><br />

<strong>Challenge</strong>. It provided a<br />

great team building event<br />

that was a lot of fun for<br />

everyone. You didn’t have<br />

<strong>to</strong> be a star employee <strong>to</strong><br />

participate and I think that<br />

was <strong>the</strong> best thing of all.<br />

It gave our employees and<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir families a way <strong>to</strong> get<br />

<strong>to</strong> know each o<strong>the</strong>r outside<br />

work and promoted getting<br />

active, fit and healthy.<br />

We are looking forward<br />

<strong>to</strong> making this an annual<br />

event for Northstar.”<br />
