Why Participate

Are you ready for safe team building and environmental cleanup all in the same event? Or looking for an opportunity to sponsor your healthcare frontline heroes? We are! We would like to invite you to partner with us in the Lagoona Kahuna Team Challenge from April 30th through May 21st, Fridays only. This is a lagoon clean-up effort and a great opportunity for businesses to support an environmentally friendly initiative, build team relationships, cater to a captive audience, and gain brand recognition. It's well known that employees want to work for companies that care. Cone Research found, in fact, that 76% of millennials consider a company's social and environmental commitments when deciding where to work and 64% of millennials will not take a job from a company that does not have strong CSR practices. This event provides your employees with the opportunity to give back, participate in health and wellness activities, and, most importantly, strengthen employee relationships while having fun. And, you can honor your healthcare frontline workers with the opportunity to participate.

​

Why the Month Long Event?

In the past we had all companies gather together on one day and compete. Because of Covid-19, we are taking extra precautions. Each company will have the pick of their own time slot in order to limit the amount of people gathered; everyone can socially distance while working together to clean up the lagoon. The entire event is outdoors!

​

We are happy to announce that California Watersports is back again as our venue sponsor and Pizza Port as our Pizza and Brew Sponsor. Your day begins with a scavenger hunt clean-up effort via kayak, paddle board or shoreline stroll along the lagoon, and afterwards a competition in team building challenges, yet to be determined. The afternoon crew starts with Pizza and Brew, then begins the challenges. 

​

How and What Does My Team Win?

You will receive points on the amount of trash collected, weeds and invasive species removed, and scavenger hunt participation. The results of your company will be totaled, and you will compete with the other businesses (on separate time slots) to be named the Big Kahuna! The Big Kahuna receives the commemorative paddle (to be displayed in your office or virtual zoom backgrounds) until the next year when the competition begins again. 

​

ZOOM Award/Closing Ceremony: Tuesday, May 25th 2021 @ 4pm - 5pm

​

Can I Participate Virtually? 

YES! In 2020 we introduced the virtual option  be continuing into 2021. Essentially, a virtual team cleans up their own neighborhood or location of choice and enters the amount of trash collected into the trash portion of the competition. Instead of in person games, they compete in a timed zoom trivia led by the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation Team. 

​

Have Fun and Win

The team with the most amount of points after all events will win the prized paddle from The Lagoon Kahuna Team Challenge. Every team member also receives event day apparel, preferred water vessel and food and brew. Music and games complete the beach party comradery. 

​
