Corporate Champions

Corporate Champions are community businesses who encourage their employees to collect pledges and walk or run in the Great Human Race for one or more nonprofit agencies. Don't let the word "corporate" fool you. Corporate Champions can be a Mom & Pop grocery store, a dry cleaner or coffee house.

 Any business, big or small, that is looking to boost employee morale, generate good PR and get involved in the community on a very direct level is a strong Corporate Champion candidate. Please contact Tammy Dorfman at tammy@thevolunteercenter.org if you would like to become a Great Human Race Corporate Champion.
