Oct. 27, 2025
Facilities team members savored delicious food, played cornhole, jammed out, and more at the annual Facilities Cookout on October 14! The event was a moment of appreciation for all the hard work that happens year round.
Festivities included the Facilities Car Show, ice cream trucks, giant Jenga, and a lively set from the Facilitones (one of the highlights was a joyful rendition of Earth, Wind, and Fire's “September” to close out the show!). Jamie Simpson won the car show and Team Sustainability -- Matt Brinn and Jared Flesher -- won the corn hole tournament. More than 20 staffers went home with a prize from the raffle drawing.
At the event, Facilities heard from Vice President of Facilities Kyu Whang, expressing his gratitude for everyone's hard work and dedication. It was a great day to be in Facilities!
