Due to the less than ideal weather conditions provided to Saipan courtesy of Typhoon Chaba, the 3rd Annual Saipan Chamber of Commerce Corporate Challenge that was supposed to be yesterday, Aug. 22, has been postponed for one week.
Beginning at 9am, teams gathering to participate in the Corporate Challenge at the American Memorial Park and Micro Beach will prepare for the approximately six-hour competition. Composed of members of a business, agency or organization, teams will compete in a number of events to determine the overall winner.
This list of events includes the ever-popular obstacle course, egg toss, a Best Tent contest, and fear-factor eating contest, among others. Co-workers and family members are free to join the cheering squad of each team.
Although the team that accumulates the most points in the challenge is awarded the annual trophy, the real winners of the event are the students who are granted scholarships by the SCC. Proceeds go to our Educational Scholarship fund, which supports local students who want to further their education at an accredited two-year or four-year institution.
The Corporate Challenge is set to start at 10am this Sunday, Aug. 29, but it is recommended that teams arrive as early as 9am to prepare for the daylong event. The public is encouraged to come down to the park for all of the fun and games.
