December 19, 2012 Welcome to the OU Medicine Corporate Challenge 2013 This year, we are proudly celebrating the competition s 25th anniversary. When it was launched a uarter of a century ago, Corporate Challenge had one simple goal in mind: to bring Oklahoma City businesses and their employees together for a weekend of athletic competition, team-building and general goodwill. The event has evolved over time, raising money for charity and boosting physical fitness awareness, but at its heart, the Corporate Challenge remains the same, bringing good people together to do great things. Once again, the event will raise money for a great charitable cause, the UCO Endeavor Games, which is an athletic competition for athletes with physical disabilities. Last year, we raised more than $50,000 for the games and this year, we hope to exceed that total with the help of Corporate Challenge participants. This packet will provide you with an overview of the three-day competition, including athletic events, awards, general rules and company sponsorship packages. It also includes registration information to help get your company started today. Please turn in your registration forms no later than March 13, 2013. A luncheon for team captains will be scheduled shortly thereafter to distribute additional information and answer uestions. Staging a three-day athletic competition for dozens of businesses and hundreds of employees is no small task and reuires many players. We greatly appreciate the support provided by our many longtime Corporate Challenge partners and we look forward to welcoming our new participants. Whether you come for the competition or the camaraderie, we know you and your organization will benefit from the Corporate Challenge. For the last uarter century, we have been Breaking Boundaries together to help make our community a better place. We look forward to continuing that tradition as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the OU Medicine Corporate Challenge. Thank you again for all of your support. If you have any uestions, please don t hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Kelli Hayward OU Medicine Corporate Challenge Director

The 14th Annual UCO EndeavorGames for athletes with Physical Disabilities - June 6-9, 2013 Dear Potential OU Medicine Corporate Challenge Company Representative: Beginning in 2011, the OU Medicine Corporate Challenge went to a new level by adding philanthropic activities to an already wonderful event. As part of this initiative, teams competing in the OU Medicine Corporate Challenge now generate financial support for another great local event, the University of Central Oklahoma Endeavor Games. The University of Central Oklahoma s annual Endeavor Games provides children, adults and military service members with physical disabilities opportunities to display their talents in an appropriate and competitive setting, against individuals with similar disabilities. The event is the largest of its kind in the country. Athletes compete in archery, wheelchair basketball, powerlifting, cycling, shooting, track and field, sitting volleyball, table tennis and triathlon. This year s Endeavor Games takes place the week following the OU Medicine Corporate Challenge, on June 6-9, 2013. Over the past two years, OU Medicine Corporate Challenge-participating companies have raised more than $86,000 to benefit the Endeavor Games with more than $54,000 donated during 2012. These funds supported the event in a variety of ways, including providing scholarships, adaptive sports euipment and awards for the competitors. Additionally, that money also helped the Endeavor Games continue to host record numbers of local, national and even international sports competitors. As the 2013 OU Medicine Corporate Challenge draws closer, I want to thank you in advance for your support of these outstanding disabled athletes. Your support truly made a difference in 2011 and 2012, and I can t wait to be blown away once again in 2013! I highly encourage you to view the enclosed DVD to fully understand the power and inspiration of these amazing athletes. If you have any further uestions about the UCO Endeavor Games or if I may assist you with fundraising efforts in some way, please feel free to contact me directly at 974-3137 or cmoore@uco.edu. FOR ATHLETES WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES Sincerely, Casey Moore Development Manager UCO Endeavor Games

Derrick Sier Chesapeake Energy OU Medicine Corporate Challenge provides a uniue mix of fun, competitiveness, company pride and community service.and it keeps getting better every year! Dylan Carlson Child of Northstar Properties captain I get to exercise at school, but participating in Corporate Challenge is cool and fun because you get to do it with your family, and you get a medal when you finish. Donald Konen The Hertz Corporation Jill Lynch Frates Insurance & Risk Management, LLC OU Medicine Corporate Challenge is an event where you can compete and show your talent as an athlete in several different events. It s a challenge for your company to be dubbed the best of your division. It s an event I look forward to every year because it s a great time to be with your co-workers and I love the fact that it gives back to the community through the UCO Endeavor Games! OU Medicine Corporate Challenge to me is a weekend of fellowship with friends that work at Hertz, that I do not see on a day-to-day basis. Seeing the people from other participating OKC companies that have become friends over the many years of competing in Corporate Challenge is always fun as well. Good Times Great People. Kristi Carlson Northstar Properties This was our company s first year participating in the OU Medicine Corporate Challenge. It provided a great team building event that was a lot of fun for everyone. You didn t have to be a star employee to participate and I think that was the best thing of all. It gave our employees and their families a way to get to know each other outside work and promoted getting active, fit and healthy. We are looking forward to making this an annual event for Northstar. What they are saying... 25 CORPORATE CHALLENGE 2013 Years O K L A H O M A C I T Y
