Early this summer Overdrive will be participating in the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge® in Boston, scheduled for Thursday, June 26, 2008 with a 7:15 p.m. start on the Boston Common. This 3.5-mile race – the largest held entirely within city limits – consists of approximately 12,000 runners from numerous Boston area companies.
Overdrive’s team is led by Captain Ty Velde along with fellow Overdrivers Barbara Wojslawowicz, Meghan Haley and Michael Orlinski.
Participants at this year’s Corporate Challenge will be helping to provide a true summer camp experience to children in some of Boston ‘s at-risk neighborhoods. The JPMorgan Chase Foundation will make a donation in connection with the Corporate Challenge to Camp Harbor View, in partnership with the City of Boston and Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston.
Camp Harbor View’s goal is to offer children ages 11-to-14 the opportunity to leave the city during the day and participate in a four-week summer camp program. In addition to offering the traditional activities that summer camp is known for — hiking, arts and crafts, swimming — Camp Harbor View also includes programs that strive to build children’s academic and leadership strengths.
We’re really looking forward to being a part of this year’s event and be sure to check-in after the event to see our results.
