GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman Athletics announces the launch of a new signature community event, the inaugural Paladin Corporate Challenge presented by JP Morgan, which will take place in Greenville from May 30 through June 13. 

The Paladin Corporate Challenge provides an opportunity for local businesses, government agencies, and organizations to come together for two weeks of friendly competition, networking, and community engagement, all while supporting Furman student-athletes.

Teams will compete across six dynamic events: 5K run, pickleball, 3X3 basketball, Topgolf, kickball, and trivia. Participation will be organized into three divisions based on company size, ensuring fair and competitive play for all teams. 

Divisions and entry fees:
• Division 1 (200+ employees): $1,500
• Division 2 (50-199 employees): $1,000
• Division 3 (0-49 employees): $750

Registration is now open and teams are encouraged to secure their spot early, as capacity is limited. A designated number of participants from each organization will compete in each event, and all team members must be employed by the registering organization. Employment is defined as individuals age 18 and older who are full-time or part-time employees.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available for organizations interested in taking a leading role in the inaugural Paladin Corporate Challenge. Sponsors will receive meaningful visibility, engagement opportunities, and the chance to align their brand with a new community event.
