Wurkwel Ventures, including its subsidiaries Office Furniture Center and Rightsize Facility, recently participated in this year's Corporate Cup, a spirited annual event that brings together companies across the Chicago area for a day of fun, team-building, and charity. This year was especially meaningful as our teams not only took on various physical and mental challenges but also made a significant impact by donating to Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago.
The Corporate Cup is known for its blend of physical and mental activities designed to promote teamwork, communication, and healthy competition. Employees from Office Furniture Center and Rightsize Facility eagerly jumped into the action, showcasing their skills and enthusiasm in a variety of events.
Physical Activities:
Our teams participated in exhilarating relay races that tested their speed, endurance, and coordination. From sprinting through courses to conquering obstacle challenges, every member displayed exceptional teamwork, helping each other push through and finish strong. The energy was high as colleagues cheered each other on, fostering a sense of camaraderie that extended beyond the workplace.
Mental Activities:
In addition to the physical challenges, participants engaged in intricate puzzles and problem-solving tasks that required quick thinking and collaboration. These activities proved to be the ultimate test of communication and strategic planning, allowing our teams to exercise their minds and work together to find solutions. It was a fantastic opportunity to see everyone’s unique skills come together, and the positive spirit was palpable throughout the day.
While the Corporate Cup is always a fun day, the most rewarding part of this year's event was the opportunity to give back to the community. Wurkwel Ventures, Office Furniture Center, and Rightsize Facility made generous donations to Lurie Children's Hospital, a leading pediatric healthcare provider in Chicago that offers vital care to children and their families. By participating in this event, we contributed to Lurie's mission of providing world-class treatment, research, and support for children in need.
Our participation in the Corporate Cup was more than just a day of fun and games—it was an opportunity to strengthen bonds, promote health and wellness, and make a difference in the lives of children and families in our community. We left the event feeling more connected as a team, proud of our efforts, and inspired to continue finding ways to support great causes.
As we reflect on this year's Corporate Cup, we can't help but feel excited for future opportunities to come together, challenge ourselves, and give back. Wurkwel Ventures, Office Furniture Center, and Rightsize Facility are already looking forward to participating in next year’s Corporate Cup, ready to bring even more energy, enthusiasm, and support for our community.
Thank you to everyone who participated, cheered us on, and helped make this year’s Corporate Cup an unforgettable experience. Together, we made a difference for Lurie Children's Hospital, and we're proud to be part of such a meaningful event!
