Mondragon Assembly breaks records in its 2024 solidarity sporting challenge
With more than 47,000 km completed, our Chicago and Queretaro branches have turned their efforts into support for charitable causes.
Mondragon Assembly has once again demonstrated that teamwork and solidarity can go hand in hand. In the third edition of our annual Sport Challenge, we successfully surpassed the 40,000 km target, requiring us to cover 10,000 km more than last year, setting a new record of 47,609 km covered by people from all our group’s subsidiaries. This challenge has not only encouraged physical activity and team spirit within the organisation, but has also served to do our bit for charitable causes.
The winners and their solidarity donations
This year, the winning subsidiary was our Chicago branch, which for its efforts won first place and a prize of €5,000 to donate to Tutoring Chicago, NGO of the branch’s choice that provides educational support to children in vulnerable situations.
Second place went to our subsidiary in Queretaro, Mexico, which received €3,000 to donate to the Nens de Llum foundation, a care centre for children with brain damage.

An increasingly demanding challenge
This year’s challenge set an ambitious goal: to complete 40,000 km , 10,000 km more than in the previous edition. Thanks to the participation and commitment of our people around the world, we managed to beat that target and reach 47,609 km in total.
The rules of the competition have remained the same as last year, allowing all the employees to add up kilometres through various sporting activities. This challenge has not only promoted an active lifestyle, but has also reinforced our commitment to our environment by acting as a committed agent with associations that are improving the quality of life of those who need it most.

Mondragon Assembly would like to congratulate all those who took part for their effort and dedication, and thank our branches in Chicago and Querétaro for turning their victory into an act of generosity and support for those who need it most.
See you in next year’s challenge with new goals to reach and more solidarity impact to generate!
