Medimmune launches Fight Back with Fitness campaign
Medimmune, a Gaithersburg, MD, based biotech company, partnered with the Jake Wetchler Foundation to launch a campus-wide Fight Back with Fitness campaign. On launch day, the cafeteria was buzzing with excitement as three Medimmune executives mounted exercise bicycles, promising to cycle one minute for every employee signing up. The more the executives cycled, the greater the momentum grew. As one employee said, “To see them wearing sweatpants and exercise gear was funny and encouraging. I signed up to support the team as well as a great cause.” In a friendly competition, the executive who received the most on-site registrations for his group won valuable bragging rights.
Medimmune launched the 3-month Fight Back with Fitness campaign to help raise funds for kids with cancer while at the same time encouraging employees to stay fit. A win-win for everyone!
