King of Prussia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/23/2016 -- Every year, ImageFIRST locations across the nation celebrate "All Associate Day," a special day set aside to honor remarkable associates, engage in team building, and participate in community giving. This year, All Associate Day was held on January 29, 2016.
At ImageFIRST, stellar associates are nominated by their peers and a set few are selected by leadership from that pool to become an "All Star" associate. Out of the "All Stars," a smaller group yet is nominated to be on the "Council Of Excellence". Winners of that category are invited with a guest to a special trip – this year, the location was Punta Cana, Mexico.
Additionally, the Corporate Office associate engaged in team building with a "Tour de France" where everyone was put in teams of 6 and competed on different challenges – agility, teamwork, trivia about the company, and balancing Jenga blocks to get the highest tower. That activity was then followed with building five bikes for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia is a nonprofit organization that has served the city's youth for over a century. The organization's goal is to create opportunities for children that they would not find elsewhere. Some of the programs that they provide to enhance the lives of members include competitive athletic leagues, character and leadership clubs, as well as education and career development programs.

Along with building five bikes for Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia, associates also created encouraging signs for the children to view during their first bike rides. On Thursday, February 25, three associates delivered the bikes, and one associate had this to say about his experience watching the children ride them, "We did something truly REMARKABLE by giving these kids something they would probably never have as a child. To describe their reactions won't do it justice, but what you should know is that hugs and thank you poured in from the 5 kids."
