Near-perfect running weather helped energize 319 Caterpillar employees and 25,000 other participants at the JPMorgan Corporate Challenge in downtown Chicago. Employees from 21 facilities joined the Cat Crew for a 3.5-mile road race on May 22. The annual Chicago run/walk attracts teams from approximately 600 global companies. “Caterpillar was very well represented again this year,” said Amy Manwaring, Cat Crew event co-coordinator. “Our 319 participants made us the fifth largest team at the Chicago event. Thank you to the dedicated runners and walkers, our many volunteers and Corporate Wellness Services, who kept us healthy and hydrated.” Caterpillar has participated in the Chicago portion of the Corporate Challenge since 1985. The Cat Crew’s best male and female finishers for 2014 were Daniel Sotiroff (20:39) from Aurora and Kat Dudaryk (25:11) from LaGrange. “The Corporate Challenge is a great event for all fitness levels,” said Dudaryk, who also served as LaGrange site coordinator. “This year LaGrange brought 52 participants to the Cat Crew, and I’m hoping we can continue to grow in the future. Group activities like this are a great way to get people together and get motivated. It’s nice to have an event outside of work where we can all come together.” Labeled “the world’s most popular sporting event for the full-time business community,” the Corporate Challenge began 38 years ago in New York City. Today, the event spans seven countries and five continents, with more than 265,000 combined runners and walkers. The annual road races serve as fundraisers for various charities in participating cities. Cat Crew activities for the Corporate Challenge are coordinated by Caterpillar Social Activities.

HOLIDAY SHOW

December 7

The 8th annual Grown-Up Gala was held at Five Points in Washington on Friday, April 25. Over 400 employees, retirees and guests enjoyed an evening of fun which included dinner, dessert, games and prizes in the banquet room.

Following dinner, attendees moved to the Caterpillar Performing Arts Center within the Five Points facility where they were entertained by Smokin’ The Ivories, a piano and vocal powerhouse. The show was highlighted by a tribute to the greatest piano entertainers of the 20th century.

Jennifer Schoenbein, Global Warranty, commented, “My husband and I had a good time at this year’s Grown-Up Gala. We really enjoyed the show. The band was very talented and they did a few short skits that were fun. It was really nice to meet some of the other Caterpillar employees. I can’t wait to see what Social Activities comes up with next year.”
