Join the ChallengeMeaningful Employee Engagement Activities Shouldn’t Be Difficult
Have you been asking yourself:
You’re not alone. Finding easy ways to participate in meaningful employee engagement activities and give back to the community… just isn’t easy. Until now.
How It Works
The Challenge is an employee engagement campaign that enables organizations to rally their entire workforce into one super-fun NationaLocal fundraising event.
Here’s how it works:
5 Teams
You recruit 5 or more unique teams of employees across multiple locations. These teams will work together (and compete against each other!) to raise funds.
Local Charities
Each team raises funds for a charity partner that operates in their local community. 100% of net proceeds of each team’s fundraising stays local which delivers real engagement for staff. That’s the NationaLocal experience: national event, local impact.
Commit to Fundraising
As an organization, you commit to raising $10,000+ We provide you with the tools, coaching, and encouragement to make it happen!
Have Some Fun
Sit back and watch as your folks get creative, competitive, and passionate about the event and making an impact in the community.
Walk “Together”
On event day, whether your teams are located in Halifax, Toronto, or Kelowna, they all walk in a super-fun, family-friendly event, hosted by the local charity.
Big Benefits, Easy Administration
Joining The Challenge requires $0 investment. With the registration of 5 teams and a commitment to raising $10,000, you will receive access to exclusive benefits, like:
Branded Campaign Page
A web page customized with your company’s branding to share with employees, customers, and more! This includes a real-time leaderboard which creates (friendly! impactful!) competition amongst your teams.
Campaign Coaching & Support

Bragging Rights!

Toll Free: 1.877.743.3413Who pays for the challenge program?
The Challenge program was introduced to give our charity partners additional ways to fundraise successfully. We cashflow the national event expenses and price our grant payouts to maximize what our partners receive while ensuring we cover our upfront investment.
How do you vet the local charities?
All our charity partners are in good standing with the CRA / IRS, have taken Blue Sea’s charity partner training and signed an annual agreement committing to operate the event the Blue Sea way.
Do we have to raise money for your charity partners? Or can we fundraise for a charity of our choice.
All Challenge teams must fundraise for the approved charity partner in their specific event location. All Blue Sea charity partners are vetted and provide much-needed services in their local communities.
Do our teams need to walk in the same location?
No — your teams can walk at any of our event locations from coast to coast!
Could we sponsor multiple locations instead / also?
Yes. There are great opportunities to sponsor multiple locations. We can help you identify the locations best suited to you and simplify the process by creating a single invoice and payment process instead of creating multiple sponsorship processes. Contact us to learn more.
Where does the money go? Does it stay local?
100% of net proceeds will go towards the local charities that your teams are fundraising for. You can find more information on our financial model and community impact here.
