Get In Gear 2008 Corporate Team of the Year DRC's Success Learn from one company’s success! Data Recognition Corporation (DRC) promoted a company-wide food and fund drive for Second Harvest in conjunction with a well-communicated push to get employees to participate in Get in Gear in 2007 and 2008. The results were impressive! Three locations participated, bringing in more than 725 pounds of food and $7,401, which was matched by Get inGear, making the end impact a stunning $14,802! ----- “Team DRC has participated in the Get in Gear/Second Harvest Heartland event for the past two years. Our participation and donation numbers have grown since last year due to the support of our employees and their families and friends. We have opened up our corporate team registration to employee’s family members and friends which has brought more participation. We also reimburse employees and their family members for half of the Get in Gear registration fee. A month before the event, we kick off a food donation drive at all of our Minnesota locations. DRC has also made a commitment to employees by matching all cash/check donations collected by employees. Our participants . . . love making a contribution to a great cause while getting some physical activity in at the same time.” — Jennifer Engeleiter, Data Recognition Company (DRC), 2007 & 2008 Participant

The Corporate Get in Gear division is a division that will allow the corporate participants to be pulled out of the overall results for a separately awarded corporate results division (but also included in the overall results). 

These results will be posted on our results page with the overall results and awards will be distributed accordingly.

All corporate teams must have one team captain who will enter the company as part of the corporate division. After the team captain registers, then all team members can register and join the corporate team. 

 

Team Captains:  If your company will absorb the cost of all of your team entries, you must contact the Get in Gear Race Director for set-up of a coupon code to allow your corporate participants to register without payment. A coupon code will be issued to any corporation processing a minimum of 10 registrations. . E-mail: Get in Gear

Corporate Team Members: If your team is not listed at online registration, you should contact your Team Captain to enter the information.
