And the National Champion is . . . .
It’s been an exciting 8 weeks of volunteering, games, and competition, and we’ve reached the end of the season. A big congratulations to Storable for beating out 19 other teams to take the championship title!
The Top 2 teams were presented with a Mystery Challenge that asked them to showcase their creativity, team spirit, team talents, and celebrate how their team came together throughout the season and all the fun they had along the way. This challenge came together in the form of a team video that was judged by our community of Judges as well as a live audience vote at the Awards Party and Ceremony yesterday. Check out their videos below!
The Judges vote accounted for ⅔ of the total points with the remaining ⅓ going from the audience vote. At the end, the Judges’ points pushed Storable to the top to take the championship title for the first ever Catalyst Games National Season!
Our competing teams came together to play for our 6 nonprofits and donated a total of $25,000 to our partners. Each team chose a nonprofit to compete and win additional dollars for in the competition. Every nonprofit received a minimum $2,500 donation no matter how their teams did. Check out our winners and donations in the season recap on the right!
