What is the OU Medicine Corporate Challenge? In a nutshell, it is Oklahoma City companies, their employees and
their families coming together for a weekend of friendly competition, teamwork and fun, bringing awareness to
our city’s commitment to health and wellness. Over the years, the event has evolved, bringing in new and exciting
elements, attracting new participants, and raising money for charity.
For the sixth consecutive year, Corporate Challenge participating companies will raise money for a similar, and
incredibly inspiring event: the UCO Endeavor Games, a competition for athletes with physical disabilities. In these
few years, we have raised nearly $300,000 for this great cause. This year we are sure to add to this total in a big way!
This packet will provide an overview of the three-day competition, including athletic events, awards,
general rules and company sponsorship packages. It also includes registration information to help get your
company started right away. Please be sure to go online and submit your registration no later than Friday,
March 11, 2016. A luncheon for team captains is scheduled for Thursday, April 21, 2016, to distribute additional
information and answer questions.
Every year we like to pause and thank our longtime Corporate Challenge partners who make this event possible,
and welcome our new participants with open arms. We thank you all and look forward to an amazing event in 2016!
In every physical activity we experience “resistance and momentum,” and so it is in life. The resistance makes us
stronger, and the momentum pushes us onward. Whether you join us for the camaraderie, the competition, or the
activities themselves, we are confident that your company will benefit from the OU Medicine Corporate Challenge.
Thank you, and please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Dear Potential OU Medicine
Corporate Challenge
Company Representative:
June 9-12, 2016
17th ANNUAL UCO
ENDEAVOR GAMES:
Beginning in 2011, the people behind the
OU Medicine Corporate Challenge took the event to a
new level by adding philanthropic activities to an already
wonderful event. As part of this initiative, the teams competing in the
OU Medicine Corporate Challenge began to generate financial support for
another great local event, the University of Central Oklahoma Endeavor Games.
The University of Central Oklahoma Endeavor Games is celebrating its 17th year.
This annual event provides children, adults, and military service members with
physical disabilities an opportunity to display their talents in an appropriate and
competitive setting, against individuals with similar disabilities. The UCO Endeavor Games,
June 9-12, 2016, will host athletes from across the United States coming to compete in archery,
cycling, Paratriathlon, powerlifting, sitting volleyball, shooting, soccer, swimming, table tennis,
wheelchair basketball and wheelchair tennis.
Over the past five years, the OU Medicine Corporate Challenge-participating companies have raised
nearly $300,000 to benefit the UCO Endeavor Games. The monies raised over the years have allowed
the UCO Endeavor Games to grow and expand in ways not otherwise possible. With over 300 athletes
competing, 2015 was our largest Games on record. In 2016, the UCO Endeavor Games will add
wheelchair tennis and offer additional sport classification opportunities for athletes. Thanks to the
generous companies participating in OU Medicine Corporate Challenge, the UCO Endeavor Games has
been able to expand opportunities offered to the athletes, without passing on any of the cost.
As the 2016 OU Medicine Corporate Challenge draws closer, I want to thank you in advance for your support
of these outstanding disabled athletes. Your support has truly made a difference the past few years, and I
can’t wait to see what 2016 holds! I highly encourage you to visit www.ucoendeavorgames.com, and view our
videos to fully understand the power and determination of these incredible athletes. If you have any further
questions about the UCO Endeavor Games or how I can assist you in your fundraising efforts, please feel free
to contact me directly at 405-974-3160, or lpemberton@uco.edu.
Sincerely,
Leigha Pemberton

It helps build team work and brings out their competitive sides.
It’s also great to see their friends/family come cheer them on and

WHAT
THEY
ARE
We were ecstatic about the addition of the CrossFit-based
“Total Fitness Challenge” this year! It proved to be very challenging,
which ignited and encouraged our teamwork skills. The difficulty of
each station propelled us to finish strong as a team. We love what
Corporate Challenge stands for and look forward to 2016!

Corporate Challenge has had a tremendous impact on our culture.
A spirit of commitment and teamwork has blossomed as
our team members look forward to and prepare for next year’s event.
Corporate Challenge has created a new sense of company pride. Team
members proudly wear their shirts at the event and throughout the year. This
helps build enthusiasm for the next Corporate Challenge. There was a lot of
trepidation in signing up for our first Corporate Challenge as we were fearful
of the workload that would be required to effectively participate. These fears
were assuaged by the incredible support and organization of the Corporate
Challenge staff and on-line system. OKC companies of all sizes that don’t
“pull the trigger” are missing out on a tremendous opportunity to impact
their company’s culture, spirit and health awareness.
