EMPLOYER GROUPS
Blending corporate giving with employee well-being
Why Join?
As a stand alone wellness solution, the Challenge represents a highly cost effective way to engage and inspire employees to be as fit as they can be, physically, mentally, and financially for a full 10-week period. The fact that it happens to drive significant donations to their charity of choice makes it simply outstanding.
The Challenge includes Individual, Buddy-Up and Team competitions, a comprehensive nutrition program, smart device connectivity, group events, weekly raffles, physical, mental, and financial well-being education, plus a weekly news letter, personalized reminders and more.
​​​​
​Once the nonprofit registers with the Challenge, the employer group provides their gift requesting it be utilized to acquire seats for their employees. Benefits Optimization. provides each employer group with a unique 6-character code their employees use to self-enroll.
​​
Once an employees enrolls, they received a Welcome email that details the Challenge, all the available resources, as well as instructions on how to use our sponsor recruitment platform where friends and family can register their sponsorship. Benefits Optimization handles all the outreach and sponsor enrollment activities.
Fundraising
When someone enrolls in the Challenge, they are aware that it is a fundraising event, and that they are expected to get as many friends and family to sponsor them as possible.
​
Wellness points drive the Challenge competitions for the healthiest Individual, Buddy-Up, 5-member team, and company. There are a variety of ways to earn points, and there are over 7,300 possible to be earned over the 10-week event.
​
When someone sponsors a participant, they pledge to donate 1, 2 or 5 cents per wellness point earned. We cap the total points of a pledge at 5,000 (easy to reach) so sponsors have an idea of their total possible commitment.
​​
With that understanding, a small employer group could make a $900 donation to their nonprofit and receive a 25-member team. If each team member recruited just 4 sponsors, and if each member reached the 5,000 point level, that $900 donation would generate $5,000 in donations and start a tsunami of giving.
