Each March, DayBlink Consulting runs a program colloquially known as ‘Gym Rats’. Gym Rats is a month-long fitness challenge designed to motivate employees to spend time exercising each weekday and give back to the community.
Program participants must complete a number of fitness challenges including daily workouts and various weekly challenges. Missed workouts lead to contributions to the donation fund for the selected charity of the year. This year, DayBlink Consulting selected Open Door Sports.
“When looking at potential charities to partner with, Open Door Sports really stood out as a great organization that aligned with the ‘Gym Rats’ themes of activity, health and wellness, and most importantly helping our local DMV community. We hope our donation will be able to help ODS continue all the great work they have been doing to help those less fortunate to get out and be active!” - Harry Baker, Manager
Over the course of the month, DayBlink completed nearly 400 workouts across the team resulting in a donation of over $2,300 for Open Door Sports. This donation allows Open Door Sports to continue to offer all of their programs free of charge. For the past year, Open Door Sports (ODS) has served 448 children with special needs, 498 volunteer peer buddies, and 25 young adults with disabilities.
“Dayblink Consulting’’s Gym Rats challenge is a fun way to encourage employees to be active throughout the month of March while also doing some good for the community.”
- Josh Tupper, Senior Consultant
DayBlink would like to thank Open Door Sports for reaching out to the organization to learn more about the program and thank DayBlink’s staff for their participation in a community strengthening activity. We look forward to working with Open Door Sports again in the near future!
