AvaFin teams logged thousands of steps for charity this summer during AvaWalk, transforming their daily exercise into community impact. The month-long fitness challenge brought colleagues together across the company, blending wellness goals with social responsibility.
Since 2023, the AvaWalk challenge has encouraged our team to seek a healthier lifestyle, enjoy the summer weather, and work together to walk towards a common goal. On the first edition, we surpassed our initial goal of walking the distance between all of our offices and we walked almost the entire circumference of the Earth! Plus, our determination helped plant 235 trees that are now growing in Latvia.
For the latest edition, we formed ten dessert-themed teams, with each group of up to 20 members competing to reach a collective goal of 50 million steps. Under the slogan #Walk4Wellness, the challenge not only encouraged employees to stay active but also highlighted the importance of mental well-being, with each step taken contributing to a significant donation for a global mental health organization.
Throughout the month, participants tracked their steps, engaged in friendly competition, and motivated their teammates to keep moving. By the end of the challenge, AvaFin had collectively walked 50 million steps, reaching our goal and making a powerful impact on both our physical health and global mental health initiatives.
Our two editions of AvaWalk campaign saw incredible participation, with employees taking walking breaks, organizing walking meetings, and supporting each other every step of the way.
