FMGI Challenge Ride

Charities

Corporate challenge events are undergoing significant change. As corporations and their employees look to mirror popularity of reality events, corporate challenge event organizers are responding with a new set of corporate challenge events that are team based, skill oriented and competitive. The corporate challenge days of mini putt are gone, replaced by intense competitive skill based challenges that test the skill level of participants. Facility Marketing Group Inc. through FMG Dragon Boat is a leader in development of corporate challenge events through the excitement of dragon boat racing. Now Facility Marketing Group Inc. introduces a new corporate challenge initiative, the �Challenge Ride�.

�Challenge Ride� addresses a number of event marketing issues, the event promotes team development and dynamics, promotes advantages of public transit, is safe, environmentally friendly and above all competitive. Corporate teams of four wind their way through the community transit system experiencing a day of riding various public transit routes competing for distance and time. Throughout the day teams will be challenged to decipher transit route information, select routing, pick the best transfer points, maximize mileage within time constraints and compete against other corporate teams while working their way through the public transit system. All teams will be given transit routes that are equal in distance but not necessarily equal in destination. Time to navigate the transit route successfully will be equal, it is up to the corporate teams to maximize mileage and race the clock.

Facility Marketing Group Inc. has developed a strong relationship with hundreds of companies in the marketplace. This relationship has grown through years of canvassing companies to enter corporate teams in the very popular Manitoba Dragon Boat Festival. This festival draws 150 corporate teams of 22, raising over $ 250,000.00 for the Canadian Cancer Society over the past two years. Facility Marketing Group Inc. knows how to market and develop corporate challenge events that are community driven and responsive to the fundraising needs of charities. Whether it be sponsorship or team marketing Facility Marketing Group Inc. has the contacts, credibility and years of experience to market corporate teams for the �Challenge Ride�.

The �Challenge Ride� provides corporate teams with the excitement, challenge and skill requirements that are mirrored in today�s reality television concepts. The goal of the event would be to raise through a pledge program funds for a cure based charity. Teams will be �scored� based on time to complete the course, distance traveled, best costume, most pledges raised and most organized team. Once the corporate teams have finished the day of riding and racing the charity will be the end winner with thousands of dollars raised for the cure.

Facility Marketing Group Inc. is currently interviewing charitable organizations that would be interested in participating in the growth of this new and exiting corporate challenge format. Charities that bring to the event aggressive pledge program marketing skills, loyal media relationships and strong corporate sponsorship ties are best positioned to benefit from this event initiative. The event will be professionally marketed, and managed by Facility Marketing Group Inc. therefore the need for volunteers would not be significant. If your charity can accept the challenge of the �Challenge Ride� you are encouraged to contact Scott Walker, Facility Marketing Group Inc.
