CAT CREW CORPORATE CHALLENGECHICAGO—GRANT PARK

Promoting fitness in the workplace, friendly competition between teams, and camaraderie among fellow employees, the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge is like no other event! Join the Cat Crew…walkers, runners, coworkers and those who just want to be part of a very fun and exciting experience. Landmarks along the race route include Lake Shore Drive, Buckingham Fountain, and Lake Michigan. Social time before and after the race is as rewarding as walking or running the spectacular course!

The Cat Crew will participate in the 2015 Chicago Corporate Challenge, along with over 25,000 employees from 600+ companies. Last year, the Cat Crew energized 319 employees from 21 facilities including Aurora, Boonville, Burr Ridge, Decatur, Joliet, Lafayette, LaGrange, Oak Creek, Peoria-area (10 facilities), Pontiac, San Diego and South Milwaukee.

The Corporate Challenge event includes a 3.5-mile road race for runners and walkers with similar events held around the world —in 13 cities on five continents—in total over 265,000 employees participating from over 8,000 companies. The Corporate Challenge celebrates teamwork. Participants may only register as part of a company team. The goal is to bring companies and their employees together by promoting health and fitness in the workplace, foster goodwill and camaraderie among their employees, and show their commitment to the community and best environmental practices. Employees of a company are scored as a team and compete against other corporate teams.

Information on how Caterpillar employees can register for the event, in addition to the cost, will be provided in the March issue.

Close to You: Music of the Carpenters

Space is Limited

Lisa Rock and her 6-piece band complete with back-up singers create a Carpenter’s experience like no other. Lisa’s amazing four octave range allows her to sing the hits like“We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Rainy Days and Mondays” in their original key. She draws the audience in with anecdotes about Karen and Richard Carpenter, their lives and how some of the songs originated. The music of the ‘70s is often defined by the disco beats of the Bee Gees and Donna Summer, or the guitar riffs of Led Zeppelin and The Eagles. One band carved a new path in pop music, and in the process created some of the most beautiful, memorable love songs of the decade, including more than a dozen number one hits on the Billboard charts. This band was the Carpenters.Join your Caterpillar friends—employees and retirees—for a memorable experience filled with classic, unforgettable songs at the 9th Annual Grown-Up Gala.
