Frequently asked questions
What is the day like?
Boston Children's Hospital Corporate Cup is an afternoon of field-day events and friendly competition among the business community, all while raising funds for the hospital. Companies create teams to compete. Winners are announced in a closing ceremony. Then there's the afterparty, where foes become friends over food, drinks and bragging rights.
How do I get there? Where do I park?
By public transit, take the Red Line to Harvard Square and the complex is a 10-minute walk from the Square down JFK St. and over the Charles River. The 66 and 86 route MBTA buses also stop in front of Harvard Stadium.
By car, enter through Gate 8 or Gate 16 and parking staff will direct you to available parking.
By Uber/Lyft, please enter in Beren Tennis Center (65 N Harvard St, Boston, MA 02134) to get dropped off in the correct location.
What time do I need to arrive?
All volunteers should arrive at the Harvard Athletic Complex at 11:00am and check in at the volunteer table. Look out for an email from us 1-2 weeks before the event. It’ll outline your role and important event details.
What time should I expect to be finished?
Please plan to stay all day. We'll wrap-up around 6pm. And you're invited to stay for the after party!
