Calgary Corporate Challenge

Calgary Corporate Challenge is a non-profit organization focused on community. It's our mission to provide Calgary & area companies with professionally managed team-building events. We emphasize fun, promote philanthropy, and encourage participation, inclusion, health & fitness, cross-industry networking, and positive teamwork. We build cultures and we nurture teams, with an impact that outlives any single event.

The Calgary Stampede is a supporter of the Calgary Corporate Challenge with the intention of promoting engagement and fun for our employees, while supporting and participating in the local community. Each year, the Calgary Stampede joins the CCC in multiple activities which include various opportunities for all of our employees to become involved.

Dates, times and locations are now available on the Calgary Corporate Challenge website. The Calgary Stampede is in the RED DIVISION.

Please note, these dates and times are subject to change.

Corporate Challange Giving Opportunities

CCC's annual Charity Challenge is an optional component of the September Games. Companies are encouraged to support our charity partners by engaging with them through Giving Opportunities to earn points in the September Games Standings.

Our internal CCC team has chosen a number of activities to participate in to support our local community. The following groups are Charity Partners, each offering various giving back opportunities.

If Olympic style sports aren’t your thing; perhaps philanthropy is more your style. Or maybe you’re up for both – AWESOME!!

Each of the charity partners outline a series of Giving Opportunities that allow teams to interact with them in meaningful ways so they can do good and be good (by also earning points in the standings). Through the Charity Challenge and other charity-focused initiatives, CCC companies have raised over $8.3 million since 2006!
