Community events bring team together

Charity walks raise much-needed funds for nonprofits, but these community events have an often overlooked benefit: strengthening your corporate culture.

Colleagues build camaraderie by sharing a positive experience outside the office. Plus, charity walks are inclusive; nearly everyone is capable of participating.

There are plenty of causes. Find one that matches your corporate culture. Two worth checking out:

– Help local homeless pets at SPCA Tampa Bay’s Pet Walk in downtown St. Petersburg’s Vinoy Park Oct. 6. It’s optional to bring your pet.

– Support heart health with the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium Nov. 10.
