Services Department organizes the event every year, and Department Director Donnie Moore stated “it’s awesome to see various local businesses and organizations out there getting to meet others, participating in friendly competitions, and just having a blast outside the workplace. We feel Corporate Games offers so many community benefits and have loved offering it for the past eleven years. Plans for CG2023 are already being made!”
The Porterville Corporate Games is a business-to-business competition that incorporates a variety of fun and entertaining, yet competitive, activities for local businesses and organizations to participate. The events take place at various locations over a two-week period and include a variety of tournaments.
Some of this year’s
activities included a community scavenger hunt, foot golf, bowling, volleyball, archery and corn-hole. Eagle Mountain Casino hosted a competitive Texas Hold’em poker tournament as one of the activities as well.
The Rock, Paper, Scissors competition was a new addition this year, which turned out to be a lot of fun and was quite entertaining. Porterville’s Corporate Games is an opportunity to engage in unique team-building activities, creating a bond and camaraderie that carries to the office.
It also allows local businesses and organizations to interact and get to know each other in new ways in building community. Visit the City of Porterville’s website to get more information on the Porterville Corporate Games and to view pictures of this year’s events.
