About Corporate Kickball
Corporate Kickball is an active employee engagement event that brings teams of 12 co-workers together through tournament play of a nostalgic game of kickball. More than one corporate team from your company can participate.
Companies will compete for the ever-elusive championship trophy, and the opportunity to bring healthy, inclusive and developmental play to nearly 6,000 children in Milwaukee Public Schools.
Join more than 200 of Milwaukee’s top entrepreneurs, attorneys, corporate vice presidents, managers and other community leaders for this half-day event. We’ll start the day with tournament play and transition into an after party event (same location) which includes an awards ceremony and food and beverages, while bidding on a wondrous assortment of silent auction packages from Milwaukee’s most renowned restaurants, memorabilia from the hottest sports teams, exciting adventures and more.
