We have been running Tour de Office events in companies of all sizes, across many states since way back in 2011. During this time we have raised over half a million dollars for Australian charities and had a lot of fun along the way!
We have been truly inspired by the effort and the imagination of teams of employees who embrace this cycling challenge event and make it their own. We see it fit different office cultures – from vehicle dealerships to newsrooms, real estate agencies, banks and multi-national financial firms. We take our hats off to all of them who cycled past their limits and raised more money than they thought they could and cheered for everyone from the CEO to the receptionist as they sweated through their leg of the relay.
Here’s how they experienced it, in their own words.
“Coronis is fundamentally a healthy, active workplace which is why Tour De Office is such a perfect fit for our culture. We love taking everything we do to the next level which is why we host the event out the front of our headquarters, dress up, promote it on social media and run competitions. It all benefits our chosen charity in the end so we like to have some fun with it!” Coronis, Qld
“Tour de Office was a great platform for our corporate partners to support Youngcare and engage their staff and clients.The combined fundraising efforts from our supporters this year was almost $30,000, which is equivalent to five At Home Care Grants, to enable five young Aussies with high care needs at risk of entering aged care, to stay at home with their loved ones.” Charity Partner, Youngcare
“I would definitely recommend Tour de Office to other TAFEs, universities and any organisation with large departments. Participating in this event helped to break down departmental barriers and enabled staff from around campus to engage with one another in a fun way. It brought staff together across the Institute and created a really positive atmosphere.” Wodonga Tafe, Vic
“Both our Sydney and Melbourne offices take part and next year we hope to introduce Tour de office to our Brisbane office too. We moved the bike from floor to floor each day… and the office was buzzing during the week. The event is a fantastic way to fundraise for a worthy cause alongside one of our major clients, Commonwealth Bank.” Top individual fundraiser, KordaMentha
