The MBA Challenge for Charity (C4C) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in which MBAs from nine West Coast business schools engage in friendly competition in volunteerism and fundraising to support Special Olympics and family-related local charities.  We strive to develop business leaders with a lifelong dedication to service.

In 2008-2009, despite the difficult economic climate, C4C raised over $ 400,339 for Special Olympics and other local charities and contributed over 13,000 hours of community service. This overall commitment to service and giving makes the MBA Challenge for Charity the largest MBA non-profit organization in the world.

The C4C annual competition begins at the beginning of the academic school year and finishes in April during the intramural sports events and final awards weekend at Stanford. During the 2009 C4C Weekend, over 1,052 business school students competed in over 25 events over the three-day weekend.
