NPC shows support, competitive spirit at inaugural Office Madness to benefit Giorgio Foundation
Crush NF1 wins overall team trophy, Now Playing for a Cause posts top time in championship round relay race, and NPC contributes nearly $3,000 to fundraising efforts.
NPC showed its competitive spirit in both pre-event fundraising efforts and during the team competition at the inaugural Office Madness event on March 2, 2018 at the Bavarian Aid Society in Altoona, PA, to benefit The Giorgio Children’s Foundation for NF1.
A trio of teams represented NPC at Office Madness, which featured a total of 26 teams (with 6 team members each) from local businesses competing in office-themed games. The games included: 5 O’clock Dash, Wastepaper Basketball, Office Golf, Clipboard Pong, Binder Clip Skee Ball, and Rubber Band Archery.
NPC teams combined to raise $2,971 toward the event fundraising total of over $25,000. And the best part is that 100% of those donation dollars for The Giorgio Children’s Foundation are used to fund highly focused medical research to help end NF1.
The company’s orange team, Crush NF1, captured the overall event team trophy, while the green team, Now Playing for a Cause, recorded the fastest time in the championship round office relay race.
