The Corporate Challenge:
We encourage all businesses to take part in the VW Turtle River Race Corporate Challenge this year. Last year's challenge helped to make WCT's fourth season with this event such a great success. Businesses are invited to purchase books of 10 tickets for $100.00 each for Race 1 and/or Race 2. Along with supporting a vital community organization, the tickets make great appreciation gifts for staff and/or clients. In exchange for your participation, you will be entered to win an exclusive Corporate Challenge prize package.
