On Saturday, May 19, 2012, Madison’s Florida team members took part in the Charity Challenge XXVII in Orland, Florida. This day-long team challenge pits 100 co-ed teams from the hospitality and apartment industries against each other in six exciting sporting events including: basketball hotshots, canoe relay, obstacle courses, tubing relays, volleyball and tug-of-war tournaments.

Team Madison took 3rd Place in the Obstacle Course and put up a tremendous fight in Tug of War. Most impressively, the team raised $3,000 for Central Florida charities and will be awarded the Governor’s Cup during a ceremony this summer. The Governor’s Cup is awarded each year to those who demonstrate outstanding contributions to the community.

We proudly salute Team Madison’s contribution and participation in this great charity event that supports those in need in Central Florida. Way to go!
