The YMCA of Northwest Florida has announced registration is now open for its annual Corporate Cup Games, scheduled for Saturday, October 25, at Pensacola State College. This marks the 29th year of the popular corporate wellness event that combines team building with community support.
Local companies of all sizes are invited to participate in this day-long celebration of fitness and fellowship. The event features a mix of traditional competitions like the One-mile Run, Egg Toss, and Obstacle Course, alongside unique challenges including Sink It, Frisbee Chaos, and Sod Surfing. This year’s “Galactic Games” theme encourages teams to embrace creative costumes while competing.
The competition begins with the March of the Athletes at 8 a.m., followed by four rounds of individual events throughout the day, concluding with the traditional Tug of War at 1 p.m. Teams must consist of 20-28 members who are at least 18 years old and regular company employees, with employee spouses also eligible to participate.
The $1,000 entry fee includes event participation, food and beverages, participant gifts for each team member, and opportunities to win awards and bragging rights. Silver sponsorships are also available for companies seeking additional recognition. All proceeds benefit YMCA mission programs, supporting the organization’s extensive community outreach efforts.
Florida Power & Light returns as the event’s Gold Sponsor, helping make the games possible. The YMCA’s Northwest Florida branches serve approximately 20,000 children and adults annually through wellness, childcare, sports, camp, aquatics, and community programs. Last year alone, the organization’s mission impact totaled $928,089 across the two-county region.
Companies interested in participating must register by the August 15 deadline. Complete details and registration information are available at ymcanwfl.org.
