An enjoyable day of competition and camaraderie

Teaming up from across the state, Cummins employees enthusiastically gathered last weekend to participate in the Indiana Sports Corp Corporate Challenge 2023. Held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with the good fortune of having amazing weather, the fun day of activities and friendly competition included a variety of events like cycling, running, football toss and more. The Cummins cycling team even earned a 1st place finish in its division!

"Our employees came out for the competition, but it was soon evident they were there for the camaraderie," says José Samperio, Vice President and General Manager, North America On-Highway at Cummins, who was Cummins' executive sponsor of the event and also participated in multiple challenges. "It was great to not only see our colleagues face-to-face but also have the opportunity to meet their families and spend some time together."

Cummins has participated in past years but this is the first time since the pandemic that employees were able to revisit the event and once again experience the team building and togetherness that ensues.

“We had a blast, and it was nice to get out there again to compete,” says Chris Tucker, Cummins Senior Counsel, who co-captained the Cummins team, along with Lauren Daniel, Cummins External Communications Manager, and Adam Mesick, Cummins Corporate Counsel, Purchasing, Commercial.

"All of our participants were great, and we couldn't have asked for a better group of volunteers who spent time organizing them, distributing shirts and running bibs, and bringing snacks to help us refuel. Employees are already talking about Corporate Challenge 2024 and what we can do to be even more competitive next year."
