💙 MORE THAN A COMPETITION
Battle of the Businesses might have a scoreboard, but what makes this event special is what happens between the points.
Coworkers become teammates. Businesses cheer for one another. People try events they have NEVER tried before. There is a little friendly trash talk, a whole lot of laughter and an entire community comes together.
That's Battle. That's community. That's the Y.
