Integrating Charity & Corporate Teams into Endurance Events

Social Endurance
Sep 6, 2018 · 2 min read

Are you part of an event company that is trying to attract charity and corporate teams? A well managed team integration program has many benefits for the endurance event company, charity and corporate team partners. We have been fortunate to have the experience of participating in events from a charity, corporate team and endurance event company perspective. With this experience we have come to realize the key factors that create an excellent program for the charities and corporate teams.

Endurance event companies should focus on the following:

  • Create a low barrier of entry for the teams. This allows for high integration of teams and a high ROI for charities trying to fundraise
  • Allow for charity and corporate team leaders to easily register their teams and manage their team participants
  • Promote the teams! Create team exposure through the event website and social media. Acknowledge your partners
  • Provide a well organized and well managed event for all individuals and teams. Team leaders want to feel confident they’re sending their team to a well managed event
  • Provide peer-to-peer fundraising support for charities
  • Deliver a fantastic event experience!

Teams have much to gain from a well organized event. Benefits for charity and corporate teams may include the following:

  • A well organized third-party event. Much less expensive than organizing your own event.
  • Team-building
  • Health & wellness benefit
  • Possible increased exposure by leveraging the event company’s website and social media
  • An excellent fundraising opportunity
  • Possible peer-to-peer fundraising support from the event company for charities
  • Larger event companies may be able to provide multiple events across the country

Social Endurance partners with endurance event companies to create sustainable team integration programs. We have helped power the teams program for the largest event series and we have also partnered with small community event companies. We leverage our partnerships and our technology to integrate teams into great events!
