Have Fun for a Good Cause at the Startup Games 2017

June 9, 2017 9:01 am

There's no team-building activity out there quite like the Startup Games 2017. This event invites local startups to come out and compete for a good cause—more specifically, the charity of their choice. Sign up with your coworkers to participate in the event, and, if you win, the cash prize goes to your favorite philanthropic organization.

But before you take home the glory, you'll have to prove your worth by owning other startups in competitions like beer pong, dodgeball, shuffleboard, darts, Jenga, and even Mario Kart. These fun activities are designed more to get everyone engaged than to truly inspire competitive face-offs, so enjoy this time spent with your team at the Startup Games 2017. They'll be held on Saturday, June 10th at Fair Market, and contestants can win up to $20,000 for their charities.
