This year’s Corporate Games were better than ever before. Why? Because we rocked! We participated in 12 events and medaled in 10 different individual events. It was the first year that we also won the overall points and winners trophy for the entire Division C competition, which is geared for companies with 85-100 people. We incorporated our fundraising for Operation Smile into the games, too, by selling water, having food trucks donate a portion of what they sold, holding a cornhole tournament, and so much more. Our participation was stellar, with a diverse group of team members participating at the events. Check out our video here.
Awards and medals won included:
GOLD
Basketball
Bowling
Dodgeball
Spades
Mini Golf
Best Group Photo
SILVER
Women’s Ping Pong
Double’s Ping Pong
BRONZE
Flag Football
Beach Volleyball
OTHER
Overall Points and Winners Trophy
We also raised $750 for Operation Smile – that’s about five Smiles! Our executives donated $100 for each gold, $50 for each silver, and $25 for each medal we earned.We’re sad to see the games end but can’t wait for next year when we can do it all again!
Last weekend, selected independent sales company owners from Cydcor’s network attended the Operation Smile black-tie gala at Cipriani in New York City. They had the opportunity to rub elbows with celebrities, interact with other high-level fundraisers, and celebrated their accomplishments together.
It was definitely a time to be celebrated; those selected have worked tirelessly with their sales companies to creatively fundraise for the organization, using creative resources to motivate their teams and help children across the globe receive new smiles. Last year, we raised enough for a medical mission to Rio De Janerio.
We’re well on our way to funding a second mission – about $118,000 has been raised so far! Check out our Operation Smile fundraising page. You can also take a peek – and join! – our Cydcor Operation Smile page.
Nineteen years ago, there weren’t Smart Phones or drive-thru Starbucks.
But there was Cydcor.
In its early days, Cydcor was a small company in Canada. Today, 19 years later, it is a thriving business that works with a network of more than 300 independently-owned sales companies across North America and 3,600 sales professionals. That’s a lot of growth! And next year, we’ll be celebrating 20 YEARS. That’s a long time. We’re already thinking about how we’re going to be commemorating our 20th year. We can’t wait!
In recent weeks, we’ve had two fundraisers for Operation Smile that have raised significant funds. This demonstrates what we know:
#1. Once we all put our minds to something, we can achieve it
#2. We won’t stop until we meet our overall fundraising goal for Operation Smile!
Here’s info about what we did:
Bowling Night
The Cydcor Bowling Night raised more than $880 for Operation Smile. Approximately 75 team members, their family and friends, and Business Building Block attendees (sales professionals from independent sales companies who were in town attending a networking event at Cydcor’s corporate office) came to the event. We were creative with our “highlighter” theme, sporting highlighter goatees, jerseys, vests and ties, and much more.
Movie Night
The Cydcor Movie Night took place at the local Muvico Thousand Oaks for a screening of a popular children’s movie. A total of $755 was raised; 151 tickets were sold at $5 each. Some of the tickets purchased by Cydcor team members were donated to families at EARTHS Academy, a local elementary school. During pre-ticket sales at the theater, celebrity Jamie Foxx purchased several tickets – demonstrating a widespread support of the organization.
Next week, we’re having a fundraiser at a local Italian chain eatery and we can’t wait to see how much we will raise!
Cydcor, the leading provider of professional in-person sales teams, announced that they recently had two fundraisers – a movie night and a bowling night - for Operation Smile, a worldwide children’s medical charity, and is rapidly approaching their overall fundraising goal.
The two events were created, arranged, and executed by Cydcor team members. Last year, Cydcor and its network of independently-owned sales offices raised $150,000 for a medical mission to Rio de Janeiro and are working hard to meet their new goal – two medical missions. Details of the recent fundraisers include:
Bowling Night
The Cydcor Bowling Night raised more than $880 for Operation Smile. Approximately 75 team members, their family and friends, and Business Building Block attendees (sales professionals from offices who were in town attending a learning event at Cydcor’s corporate office) came to the event. Participants were creative with the “highlighter” theme, sporting highlighter goatees, jerseys, vests and ties, and much more.
Movie Night
The Cydcor Movie Night took place at the local Muvico Thousand Oaks for a screening of a popular children’s movie. A total of $755 was raised; 151 tickets were sold at $5 each. Some of the tickets purchased by Cydcor team members were donated to families at EARTHS Academy, a local elementary school. During pre-ticket sales at the theater, celebrity Jamie Foxx purchased several tickets – demonstrating a widespread support of the organization.
“Once we put our mind to something, we do it,” said Chief Operating Officer Vera Quinn. “Everyone has rallied together so well to raise funds for such an amazing organization. These fundraisers symbolize so much – our commitment to these children, a dedication to our goals, and our drive to succeed.”

Health and wellness were the names, fun was the game! Cydcor just had its first “Health and Wellness Fair” right at corporate headquarters and it was a rousing success. Our team members flocked to the various booths, which ranged from chair massage and yoga to skin care/DermaScan screening and smoking cessation. Representatives from 18 different vendors answered questions and provided valuable information. A cool raffle, baskets full of healthy snacks, and green drinks were provided as well.
This health and wellness fair was the first of its kind for Cydcor, which values itself on its unique corporate culture. As one of the best place to work, we provide an array of programs for team members, including paid volunteer hours and active participation in programs like the Ventura County Corporate Games. We’re also heavily involved with Operation Smile, a children’s medical charity, and have already had several fundraisers for the organization, including our recent bowling night and movie night.
Thank you to all of the vendors who came out on this unique and fun day!
Our team night at a local Mexican restaurant to raise funds last week was a win! More than $800 was raised, which will give about five children new smiles.
The restaurant donated 20 percent of all proceeds to Operation Smile. A raffle was also held, with prizes ranging from Laker tickets to restaurant gift cards going to 10 team members. Highlights: Delicious food, great music, team member bonding, and meeting families. We can’t wait for our next team night – movie night at a local theater!
What do sales office owners think about what it’s really like to run their own business? In a new section on Cydcor.com, you can see what they have to say about the career edge they have from the experience. Check it out!
The holidays have been the perfect time for Cydcor to continue our “giving back” mentality. This season, for the second year in a row, many team members purchased gifts for children at a local elementary school and then a group of us took the presents over to the school and delivered them to the children. We had a giving tree party with cocoa, cider, and baked treats while team members gathered around the tree and chose wish lists. There were 107 wish lists to fill. All were taken and filled in the next week by our team.
Team members chose wish tags and replaced them with an ornament while we snacked, watched “The Grinch,” and got into the holiday spirit. Gifts were delivered by “Santa” and Cydcor elves to the children on December 18th.
We’re looking forward to 2013 – there are many, many good things for us to do!
