About Cx3
Cx3 pairs businesses and semi-government organisations with non-profits. According to Volunteer Sint Maarten, which powers the challenge with the Foresee Foundation's NPOwer programme and the St. Maarten Development Fund, each team makes a social media video, holds fundraisers for its non-profit partner, organises community volunteer events and competes in a final game day where the CSR champions are crowned.
