East Bank Challenge

2 Months of free food, drinks, comedy shows and dance lessons

We love South Bend! This summer there are  significant construction projects happening in the East Bank. Jefferson Boulevard is getting a pedestrian friendly street improvement.  This will take several months.  We want to help our locally owned businesses in the neighborhood get through the construction challenges.  To do this, Matthews, LLC is sponsoring a competition called The East Bank Challenge – encouraging the Michiana community to make a trip downtown and to explore local businesses in the East Bank.

The Challenge involves completing five tasks: Taking dance classes, eating at The Emporium, visiting local shops, and attending an event at Suite 11. Matthews, LLC will then pay out a $200 cash price to ten competitors who win The Challenge!

East Bank Ultimate Challenge

July 19th, 2014 10am – 1pm

Registration via Eventbrite

East Bank Ultimate Challenge is a one day fun-filled adventure to promote recreation, the arts, and local businesses in the East Bank Village, Howard Park neighborhood. Teams of 4 compete in creative challenges and location based puzzles to win $1000 in cash and prizes. This inaugural event is unique because of its integration with social media, giving participating businesses and organizations maximum exposure and attracting new people to this growing arts district. Teams will discover hidden gems in the East Bank, and their own talents as they solve and complete dozens of one-of-a kind activities.

 

The Ultimate Challenge is a grassroots effort to support the East Bank, as part of the broader East Bank Challenge, while construction is underway along Jefferson for the Smart Streets initiative. Matthews, LLC is sponsoring the East Bank Challenge competition June 16-August 16 encouraging the Michiana community to make the trip downtown to dine, shop, and play in the East Bank. Sponsors of the one day Ultimate Challenge include Matthews, LLC, Ignite Michiana and the Club: Michiana.
