Westlake Recreation Center announces 4th Annual City of Westlake Corporate Challenge

The Westlake Recreation Center has set the dates for the 4th Annual City of Westlake Corporate Challenge. The challenge will take place August 4-7. Events will be held throughout the city at various locations including: Westlake Recreation Center, Meadowood Golf Course and the Westlake Center for Community Services. All corporations within the city of Westlake are invited and encouraged to field a team.

The Corporate Challenge is a chance for employees of Westlake-based companies to interact with one another outside of the workplace while competing in a variety of events. The events this year include: 5k run, basketball shoot-out, blood drive, bocce ball, cardboard boat race, cornhole, food drive (to benefit the Westlake Assistance Program), golf, kickball, sand volleyball, spirit banner, Texas Hold 'Em tournament, timed walk and tug-o-war. 

New this year is the opportunity for two companies to join together to make one Corporate Challenge Team. According to Recreation Department Director Michael Rump, "We have found that many companies liked the idea of the event, but didn't have enough employees to field a team. It also gives companies the option of sharing the costs." Companies can form partnerships on their own or can contact the Recreation Department to be paired up with another company.

Last year's participating companies included: the City of Westlake, Fidelity Investments, Five Seasons-Westlake, Pharmacy Management Group, Rae-Ann Westlake Skilled Nursing & Stroke Rehabilitation Center, Rock Point Church and Westlake Village Retirement Community.

"The Corporate Challenge has been a healthy way for local companies and their employees to stay active in the community. I encourage Westlake companies to get involved in this great team-building event," said Westlake Mayor Dennis Clough.  

The entry fee is $450 per team. This fee allows your team to compete in all Corporate Challenge events and also includes officials' fees. Registration packets are available at the Westlake Recreation Center. Registration deadline is June 15. Please contact Rachel O'Malley at 440-617-4418 with any questions.
