TEAM WENDY COMPETES IN CORPORATE CHALLENGE FOR CHARITY

Giving back to the communities we serve – and having fun along the way

This summer, 30 Team Wendy employees and friends competed in the Cleveland Corporate Challenge, an athletic competition among local businesses that promotes employee wellness, company camaraderie and networking while supporting charities.
 
The top three teams in each division at the end of the season had a donation made to the organization of their choice. Our team competed in support of Mission 22, a U.S. non-profit that supports active service members, veterans and their families through a variety of physical and mental wellness programs, educational resources and more.

Points were awarded for event participation and rankings, as well as for assisting as a volunteer. Across three months, our employees competed in a variety of activities, including softball, bowling, mini golf and sand volleyball. Team Wendy won third place in its division for the obstacle course challenge and the 10K relay race and tied for third in event volunteerism.

Although Team Wendy didn’t place in the top three overall, our parent company, Avon Protection plc, supported the group’s efforts with a $1,000 donation to Mission 22 as part of its Charitable Giving program. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue to give back to the communities we serve – and have some fun along the way.
 
We look forward to competing again in next year’s Corporate Challenge!
