From a press release:
Technology integrator TSAChoice, Inc., with offices in Asheville, NC, and Greenville, SC, announced a healthy competition for its customers: a 10,000-step challenge during the month of December to help promote healthy lifestyles as the new year approaches. TSAChoice will donate $500 to the charity of choice for the company team with the highest average steps per person. If TSAChoice is the winner, then it will donate $500 to the charity of its choice.
The challenge has been accepted with eagerness and zeal by seven local companies: Commerce Services Corporation, Council on Aging, Express Employment Professionals, Henderson County IT Department, and Western Carolina Medical Society in Western North Carolina; and Spartan Felt Company and Peidmont Reproductive Endocrinology Group in Upstate South Carolina.
“We are excited about participating in the 10,000-step challenge,” says Lorinda Collins, Office Manager for Spartan Felt Company in Roebuck, SC. “We have all been talking about getting healthy and this is a great motivational tool for a great cause.”
“A competition like this not only will encourage a healthy lifestyle but also give great support to wonderful non-profits in our community,” says Gary Gallagher, owner of the Western North Carolina Express office. “Express Employment Professionals is walking, running and crawling (if necessary) for Eblen Charities. We’re excited and thankful that TSAChoice approached our Asheville team.”
Lynn Banks, a Sales Engineer with TSAChoice who organized the competition, says that TSAChoice had already challenged its own employees, but thought it would be fun to put their team up against their customers’ teams. “This challenge takes place during December, the season of giving, so we thought the donation to the winner’s charity would be a great motivator for everyone to get out and move, while providing a neat way to interact with our customers’ employees.”
