Get Your Business Involved in the Dempsey Challenge! Start a Challenge Team! There is no better way to build camaraderie among your fellow employees than by starting a Dempsey Challenge Team! Team participation is a great way to show your support for The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing and encourage healthy lifestyles within your organization. Employees can run, walk, ride, or raise funds as a virtual rider in The Challenge.  Dempsey Challenge Staff can provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to get a team started as well as supporting materials to encourage team participation and suggested fundraising ideas. Volunteer! Your group can volunteer to be a Cheer Station. Warm the hearts of Dempsey Challenge participants as they make their way along the run/walk or cycle routes while your group stands together and exclaims cheers of encouragement and support! The expansion of the run/walk event to include a 10k route has created the need for lots of Cheer Station support along the extended route. Your group can be recognized by wearing your logo on T-shirts or uniforms. Please contact volunteers@dempseychallenge.org if you are interested in volunteering as a group. Become a Sponsor! Of course this event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. The Dempsey Challenge is pleased to provide sponsorships to local businesses offering a winning combination of charitable giving to The Dempsey Center and media exposure for our fantastic local businesses!
