We're Off To The Races with the 2024 ADC Summer Challenge!

It's summertime at AccountingDepartment.com and we have all sorts of fun things happening! To kick off the summer season this past Memorial Day weekend, we launched our 13th annual ADC Summer Challenge.

As an entirely virtual company, ADC strives to promote being active and bringing our employees together. The Summer Challenge initially started as a "Walk-to-Work" challenge by Co-founder, Dennis Najjar. Of course a tongue-in-cheek play on words for all of our home office crew. Incentives were given to those participating and there was an honor system done by logging mileage in an Excel spreadsheet.

Since then we have upgraded to the exciting Racery platform we have now, with routes around the world. Participation in the ADC Summer Challenge comes in various forms of activity, such as running, yard work, chasing the kids around, weight lifting, and more!

This year, over 135 participants, making up a total of 7 teams, embark on a thrilling journey through Europe to tour various cafes across multiple countries. This 4500-mile adventure combines the passion for being active with the exploration of unique cafes and scenic landscapes, virtually of course. Participants will navigate through a carefully designed route, winding through cities, quaint towns, and sprawling countrysides that stretch as far as the eye can see. 

Memorial Day weekend not only marks the beginning of summer but also signals the commencement of ADC's exciting compressed work week! What used to be a Memorial Day to Labor Day event, but now spans through the entire year, the ADC team can enjoy the perks of a shortened workday on Fridays. This fantastic ADC perk grants everyone the chance to wrap up the week early and kickstart their weekend!

So it's no wonder that ADC's amazing company culture has landed it on the 2022 and 2023 Inc. Best Workplaces List - a true testament to our accomplishments around the workplace we have created. 

With that, we would like to wish good luck to all of our Summer Challenge participants and happy summer to all!
