Triangle 2017

                 THANK YOU SPONSORS

EarthShare NC invites you to join us in celebrating Earth Day 2017 with a program that integrates corporate interest in the health of the community, team-building for employees, and service to benefit the nonprofits that care or our natural resources every day. The connections and impacts you make create a ripple effect—we make our community stronger and healthier and keep the Triangle a thriving place to live and work.

Be a part of the Ripple Effect – Join us as a Sponsor

You’re invited to join us in creating an even bigger ripple effect by being part of Corporate Earth Day Events Program 2017.

You’ll connect with other business leaders who value corporate social responsibility and get to know local conservation leaders. Learn more here.

1. Corporate Challenge – Various Locations in the Triangle
April 21, 2017

We will match your employee team with a hands-on volunteer project in the Triangle and coordinate logistics to provide a fun, valuable team-building opportunity. The Challenge is also a friendly competition between companies, with awards for Spirit, Participation, Teamwork, and Overall Corporate Challenge winner.

2. After Party & Auction – at Motorco Music Hall, Durham

Come directly from your volunteer site to join your colleagues and other Corporate Challenge Teams at the After Party at Motorco Musical Hall in Durham.  Mingle, play games, and share what you accomplished. You’ll also have the opportunity to bid on unique items in the Silent Auction. You bring your muddy sneakers and stories, we’ll bring the food, drinks and prizes!
