Equal Playing Field’s (EPF) signature annual event the Corporate Health Challenge is back in 2024 encouraging a culture of health and fitness. EPF states that the Corporate Health Challenge raises funds to support communities in need and to promote a healthier lifestyle because in today’s urban setting’s most children and families consume meals of low-nutritional value. “In contrast to earlier times, when hospital deaths were primarily caused by infectious diseases, presently, working-class and educated individuals are primarily affected by lifestyle disorders.” “Many young and productive Papua New Guineans have lost their lives due to the four main non-communicable diseases of kidney disease, heart disease, stroke, and cancer.” “In light of this, the corporate health challenge aims to encourage a culture of fitness and healthy eating while also raising money for EPF's upcoming programs.” In 2023, EPF had the privilege of hosting the first EPF Corporate Health Challenge, the challenge consisted of childhood games, which were handball, rugby tag, tin game and the watermelon challenge. “We were delighted to see participation from well-known corporations that understood how important it is to put employee well-being first.” “Their involvement demonstrated their dedication to fostering a positive work environment in addition to adding another level of competition.” EPF is seeking organizations to sponsor the health challenge: - Top Tier K20, 000 - Second Tier K10 000 The Corporate Health Challenge kicks off on Sunday 25th, August 2024.
