PAPAYA’s Post

We had an incredible time as main sponsors at Node.TLV last week! A huge thanks to everyone who attended and visited our booth. Meeting you all and watching you take on our exciting challenges throughout the day was fantastic. Here's a sneak peek of the action: First, our Wall Challenge tested participants' reaction times and reflexes. The top 10 scorers advanced to the final stage, where they experienced a real car-racing simulator that we brought straight from the Papaya office. At the end of the day, one lucky winner walked away with an iPhone! We were also honored to feature "Tomer's Beer," a heartwarming initiative in memory of Tomer, a hero who lost his life in a heroic battle on October 7th. Tomer's dad, Ezra, joined the Papaya team for the day and brought incredible energy to the event. Thank you once again to everyone who participated. We can't wait to see you next time!

We are closing Pride month with an announcement we're super proud of - our sponsorship with IGY - Israel Gay Movement, for the second consecutive year. This year, our collaboration focuses on establishing an LGBTQ -friendly gym staffed by IGY's professional college graduates, 'Marsha College.' The college provides diverse programs tailored to students' unique needs, equipping them with the skills necessary to thrive in the job market. Graduates will receive professional placement at the new gym launched today. The gym will be a safe and inclusive space for the LGBTQ community to work out. This initiative reflects Papaya's commitment to promoting equality and tolerance. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at yesterday's Pride Meetup! 🌈 We were thrilled to feature Omer, our amazing illustrator, who captivated us with his "Once Upon a Pride" lecture on LGBTQ representation in Disney films. Following him, 'Hapshuta' inspired us by sharing his incredible life story and the secrets behind his successful social media channels. Can't wait to see you at our next event!

Last week, we participated in the Tel Aviv Medical Center's hackathon alongside other leading gaming companies in Israel. This important event aimed to aid post-traumatic casualties of October 7th. During the hackathon, each group proposed innovative gaming solutions to address trauma, helping individuals return to their everyday lives and daily activities through the use of games. PAPAYA's solution offers an immersive experience where users perform challenges predefined by therapists and patients. It features personalized designs based on values important to each patient and provides rewards for completing challenges to encourage real-life action and reintegration into routine. You can learn more about this vital volunteering project from Yuval Shamay, Product Manager at PAPAYA. Tel Aviv Medical Center Yuval Shamay 👑

Let’s start from the end: Eight Papaya employees are heading to the Olympic Games in Paris this summer! As a company specializing in tournament games, the connection to the Olympic Games, essentially the world's most prestigious tournaments, was natural. This connection and our shared values led to our proud sponsorship of the Israeli Delegation for the 2024 Olympic Games. Once the sponsorship was secured, we saw a fantastic opportunity for our employees to compete, develop their skills, and become winners in their own fields. So we created a series of competitions testing different skills, and over the past few months, employees have competed in various challenges. On Thursday, we held the competition finals and officially announced the eight winners. Now, with the real competition still ahead, we can’t wait to support and cheer on the Israeli Olympic Delegation. Paris, here we come!  🥐🇫🇷 Olympic Committee of Israel Yael Arad Peter Paltchik פיטר פלצ׳יק
