CHICAGO (PRUnderground) July 7th, 2016
Twenty Credico USA employees laced up their running shoes for charity and hit the streets along Lake Michigan for the J.P. Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge on May 26. The 35th running of the Chicago version of the 5K event attracted more than 27,000 participants from nearly 700 area companies—the largest ever single-night U.S. turnout in the 40-year history of the Corporate Challenge series.
“This was our first year joining the Corporate Challenge and it was a great way for our team to kick off the summer season together,” said Lesley Giffels, an account manager at Credico USA who ran in the event.
Credico USA’s participation in the Corporate Challenge benefited Get IN Chicago, a nonprofit organization dedicated to identifying the most effective ways to reduce youth violence in the Chicago’s most vulnerable communities.
“Charitable activities are an important part of our culture,” said Jean Broaddus, Credico’s North American chief client services officer. “We are privileged to support several local and national charities and are enormously proud of the time and resources Credico employees give of themselves.”
