Summer Fun Across C&B - PAC Events Recap

From office Olympics to summer picnics, see how teammates are making work more fun and building stronger bonds!

Olympic Spirit Takes Over

The Dyersville office transformed into an Olympic village, with events ranging from speed typing to javelin throws (using office supplies, of course). Jenna Lueken emerged as the office's multi-sport star, while Lexi Soppe's enthusiasm in every event earned her the participation prize. 

CBCS Coordinators proved that anything can be an Olympic sport with some creativity. Their "Capture the Flag" game with a geographical twist not only brought laughs but also showcased team members' knowledge of client locations – a perfect blend of fun and professional development, right?!

The Transportation team revved up their competitive engines for an exciting day of "mini" mini golf, fast-paced tic-tac-toe tournament, and raced to clock the highest words per minute. With a variety of other games in the mix, the Transportation Olympics showcased the team's versatility and team spirit. It was a great day of laughs and friendly rivalry.

Picnics & Outdoor Gatherings

HC360's Family Fun Day

HealthCheck360 combined Olympic-inspired office games with their annual family picnic. The team went head-to-head in office-versions of basketball, ping pong, gymnastics, bowling, and track, showcasing both their competitive spirit and creative flair. Later in the day, the team enjoyed some team camaraderie at dinner, courtesy of grill masters Michael Kelly and Ben Haun. The evening was made even more special with face painting for the kids (and kids at heart), and a sweet finish of ice cream for all.

Risk Management’s Park Adventure

The Risk Management team traded spreadsheets for spatulas at their recent summer picnic in Murphy Park. The team competed in bags and lawn golf, but the surprise hit of the day was Kubb, a Swedish throwing game introduced by Tyler Pike! The perfect blend of food, fun, and fresh air proved to be just the right formula for team bonding.

WI Benefits Team Swings into Action!

The WI Benefits team recently showcased their skills both on and off the green. Their recent golf outing saw Logan, Landon, Jack, and Emily drive, chip, clinch the day’s victory, while the whole team enjoyed a day of friendly competition and bonding.

The fun continued after their town hall meeting with a team cookout. Who says you can't mix business with fun? In WI, they're pros at both!

SISCO's Day of Fun in the Sun!

SISCO's summer picnic at Washington Park was a resounding success! The team gathered for a day filled with laughter, delicious food, and team comradery.

Benefits Team Savors Summer Vibes at the Plaza!

The Benefits team took a break from the office grind with the perfect summer picnic. The Otherside food truck rolled up to the C&B plaza and colleagues gathered outside on a beautiful day! The Benefits team certainly knows how to make the most of summer!

Even More Fun

BCC's Minute-to-Win-It Challenge

After their quarterly meeting, teams dove into a "Minute-to-Win-It" challenge, turning office supplies into unlikely game pieces. Creatively designed games had everyone balancing, stacking, and flipping in a frenzy. The nail-biting finish saw the winners claim victory by just one point, earning them a hand-crafted piñata filled with office goodies. Who knew paper clips and sticky notes could inspire such fierce competition and big laughs?!

Dyersville Office Toasts to National S'mores Day

The Dyersville office celebrated National S'mores Day with a sweet twist on their workday routine. The team brought a touch of summer fun to the workplace, fostering camaraderie as colleagues shared in the simple joy of roasting s'mores together.

These summer events are more than just breaks from the daily routine – they're a testament to C&B's dedication to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and innovative company culture. They showcase our ability to find joy in our work, value cross-department relationships, and bring creativity to everything we do.

As we look back on these summer memories, it's clear that the true highlight is the spirit of camaraderie and creativity that runs through every office of Cottingham & Butler. Here's to many more seasons of teamwork, laughter, and unforgettable moments!
