Spring Business Challenge Volunteers

WHAT IS BECOMING A VOLUNTEER?

Being a volunteer at the Défi Entreprises means participating in an event that brings together several companies around different sporting challenges such as walking, running, zumba, yoga and cardio-muscle training.

As a volunteer, you are essential to the organization of the event. Nothing would be possible without you!

WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?

MOBILIZE A GROUP!

Are you a group, organization or sports team looking for funding? That's good ; we finance groups and projects in exchange for collaboration.

For example, a sport-study program in the region donates its time each year and thus contributes to financing the end-of-year trip to Barcelona.
