Corporate Cup Begins Monday
Healthy Team Pre-Testing Begins at Griffin Hospital The 2013 Griffin Hospital Community Corporate Cup begins Monday with the start of pre-testing for the most important part of the Corporate Cup - The Healthy Team Competition. The teams will be heading for Griffin to have a variety of tests done to get a baseline score.
Over the next three months, they will have the opportunity to earn points for a wide variety of healthy activities. All participants must be pre-registered and bring their physician's consent form with them to the testing. For more information, click here.
Healthy Team is just one of nine separate events in this year's Corporate Cup series. There is a considerable savings in cost to register as a Full Team instead of paying for each event separately.
