As part of Virtua’s anniversary celebration, team members participated in Steps for a Cause: The Anniversary Step Challenge, an activity that promoted teamwork and giving back.
The goal was to reach 1 million steps in one month, by August 31.
Every walk, workout, errand, and extra step added to the total. Participants, with one shared goal in mind, tracked their progress through the StepUp app.
Hitting Two Birds With One Stone
If Virtua reached the 1 million-step goal, the company would make a special anniversary donation to a chosen charity. It was a simple way to turn everyday movement into something that could also make a difference in the community.
The challenge also gave team members a fun reason to move more, encourage each other, and work toward a common goal.
Top 3 Steppers
Congratulations to the Top 3 Steppers, who recorded the highest number of steps during the challenge:
- First Place: Anabelle Ulip – 441.8K steps
- Second Place: Maria Cecilia Oraño – 297.8K steps
- Third Place:Shulamae Escribano – 230.3K steps
Their extra effort helped move Virtua closer to the 1 million-step goal, unlocking the company’s charity donation to Tahanan ng Pagmamahal Children’s Home, Inc. Each of the Top 3 Steppers also received a special token of appreciation. Thanks to the collective effort of all participants, the team surpassed the 1,000,000-step target and reached an impressive final total of 2.97 million steps.
Every Step Counted
Whether a participant logged thousands of steps each day or simply moved a little more than usual, each step helped bring Virtua closer to the finish line.
The challenge was a great way to start the anniversary season with something active, meaningful, and shared across the team.
