Charity Challenge was founded to bring Central together by providing an opportunity to get involved in your community, have fun and give back to charity.

For the past 33 years, together we have had remarkable results; evolving from a four- team backyard event into a multi-media extravaganza raising more than 6.4 million for local charities. Many teams from the hospitality and apartment industries come together for a full day of spirited athletic competition in six exciting sporting events including basketball shootout, kayak relay, obstacle course, tubing relay, volleyball and tug-of-war tournaments and the loyal support of more than 200 sponsors.

Once again, we will be hosting our Annual Charity Challenge XXXIV on Saturday, May 18, 2019 at . As founder of Charity Challenge, I would like to invite you to be part of this exciting fun-filled event. Become a SPONSOR, compete as a TEAM or even VOLUNTEER your time.

Charity Challenge has proven to be a remarkable way for businesses to become more involved in their community while achieving high visibility. Companies are able to receive positive community exposure while providing valuable philanthropic resources to the charity of their choice. The Charity Challenge staff, volunteers and participants work together to provide charities with the outlet they need to make a bright future for the community.

The following pages will answer many questions regarding ways you can participate. Whichever way you choose to get involved, I am confident you will be pleased with the benefits this event will bring to your organization and community.

So, come out and join us on Saturday, May 18, 2019 at Camping World Stadium and be part of the excitement that is Charity Challenge!

Sincerely,

Lee Constantine Founder/CEO

Since 1987, Charity Challenge has awarded $6,438,000 to charities; including $203,000 to 61 charities in 2018.
