Mindseeker’s March Madness Tournament & Step Challenge
by Mindseeker | February 24, 2023
Mindseeker is thrilled to announce our next company-wide fitness event: Mindseeker’s March Madness Tournament & Step Challenge! If you are a Mindseeker employee and would like to participate, please read on to learn all the details and how to sign up.
Welcome to the Challenge
Sign up in the Pacer app by Tuesday, Feb. 28th to be entered into a tournament-style bracket for a chance to win our Grand Prize! Every week, participants will compete 1-on-1; whoever achieves more steps than their opponent will advance in the bracket. The lower scorer each week will drop out of the bracket but still be eligible for any of the Top Stepper Prizes.
Tournament Bracket Example:
Anyone who misses the Feb. 28th Tournament deadline may still sign up at any point during the challenge to compete for any of the Top Stepper Prizes and to have their steps count towards our overall team step goal.
Prizes
For this competition, the Grand Prize Tournament Winner and Top Three Steppers* will be awarded a monetary donation to the charity/cause of their choice to be made in their name (see amounts below)! For further motivation, we will also have an overall Team Step Goal of 4,000,000 steps. If we, as a team, reach or surpass this goal, Mindseeker will donate $1,000 to No Kid Hungry. No Kid Hungry is a national campaign run by Share Our Strength, a nonprofit working to solve problems of hunger and poverty in the United States and around the world. Learn more at www.nokidhungry.org.
*If the Grand Prize Tournament Winner also happens to be one of the Top Steppers, they may only claim the Grand Prize, and the Top Stepper prize will be awarded to the next runner up.
Grand Prize Tournament Winner | $1,000 to charity of your choice |
1st Top Stepper | $750 to charity of your choice |
2nd Top Stepper | $500 to charity of your choice |
