Care.com in the Running

BLOG-Corp-Challenge Last week, nine of our Care.com team members joined a crowd of 12,000 other Boston-area workers to run in the 26th annual J.P. Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge. The challenge is a 3.5 mile race run through the heart of Boston that helps raise awareness for “green” thinking and environmental issues, supports local charities, and gives participants a little bit of out-of-the-office fun.

This year, the Challenge raised money for Camp Harbor View, a Boston-based organization that offers 11-14-year-olds from at-risk neighborhoods a chance to leave the city and participate in a four-week-long day camp program during the summer. Kids who participate get to enjoy the outdoors while hiking, swimming, or doing arts and crafts in a safe, educational environment.

I’m happy to report that all nine of the Care.com entries finished the race (all at times that way outpace what I’d be able to do… I’m so out of shape!), no one got hurt beyond a few sore muscles, and everyone had a great time. Word around the office is that training for 2010 has already begun! 

Here are a few pictures from the event. Congratulations to all the runners!
