NGL activates the community to Step Up for Dane County

1.25 million steps logged to unlock donations for United Way of Dane County

The Madison In Business Expo & Conference brings business professionals from all walks of life together for a day of networking, strategy sessions and educational opportunities. This year, National Guardian Life Insurance Company (NGL) aimed to take the ‘walks of life’ aspect of this conference a little more literally.

Leveraging the Kilter technology, NGL challenged the Dane County community to log their steps in order to unlock real-time donations benefitting United Way of Dane County. The steps challenge spanned throughout the week of the business expo, capturing all the steps attendees took from exhibits to sessions, and resulted in a $1,250 donation for United Way.

“United Way of Dane County is celebrating its 100-year anniversary and we wanted to do something fun that gives everyone in the community a chance to get involved and support United Way. Kilter takes your fitness activities and turns it into money for a great cause. It was inspiring to witness how quickly participants stepped up to the challenge and unlocked the full donation amount,” said Maria Lubick, Assistant Vice President, Corporate Communications at NGL.

In this event, every 1,000 steps logged via fitness tracker resulted in a $1 donation to United Way of Dane County up to $1,000 sponsored by NGL. The event was so successful, with the initial contribution quickly getting unlocked, that an extra $250 was donated by Kilter to the available donation match pool for participants to earn.

“At Kilter, we’re always so excited to partner with forward thinking organizations that see the power and the potential in using technology to promote community health and social impact. NGL is always pushing the limits and we’re excited to grow the impact in initiatives like this in the future,” added Seth Braddock, CEO & Founder at Kilter.

While only the first year hosting this event, NGL was able to test the waters, witness its fruition and success, and has a goal to grow the impact of the event to even greater heights next year. Stepping up for the community has never been easier!
