Charity Challenge Info
From March 1 to May 16, 2025 participating company teams will support six Greater Waco charities—Mission Waco, Keep Waco Beautiful, Council for Life, Shepherds Heart, Friends for Life, and the Greater Waco Sports Commission—by making either direct employee donations or by volunteering their time. Donations must be sent directly to each charity (no third-party contributions), and only employee contributions will be counted. Each charity will rank teams within their divisions based on the total cash donations and the volunteer hours logged. The Greater Waco Sports Commission will then use these rankings to allocate points for the overall Corporate Cup competition. Teams must indicate their Corporate Cup involvement when donating or volunteering to ensure accurate tracking.
Earning Points: Points are awarded in two categories—volunteering hours and cash donations. Each charity will score teams in both categories, and the final division ranking will be determined by averaging these scores. Bonus Points: Donate to three charities: 15 bonus points Donate to four charities: 20 bonus points Donate to five charities: 25 bonus points Donate to six charities: 30 bonus points The 1st place team will receive 100 points, the 2nd place team 90 points, with scores decreasing incrementally by 10 points until the 9th place team receives 20 points. All teams finishing 10th or lower receive 10 points, provided they have participated. Monthly rankings will be published online and distributed through the team captain newsletter, keeping everyone updated on the progress of the Charity Challenge. For any donation questions, please contact the respective charity representatives or the Greater Waco Sports Commission.
