Which City Is Making Charity a Hometown Game?

There’s nothing like a game to fire up friendly competition in the name of charity.

These days, companies are finding challenges are such effective tools to engage employees that gamification has become a key aspect of many corporate volunteer and giving programs. These challenges can extend across departments, companies and sometimes even industry sectors to include collaboration and competition with other companies.

But what about a competition that encompasses an entire city?

That’s the premise behind the successful and inspiring Chicago Charity Challenge, an annual competition that awards businesses and their employees prizes for giving back.
