Paycom employees turn fitness challenge into $150,000 for veterans

OKLAHOMA CITY (Nov. 9, 2026) — Paycom Software, Inc. (NYSE: PAYC) (“Paycom”), a leading provider of cloud-based human capital management software, raised $150,000 for The Courage Foundation through Burpees for Vets, a national fitness challenge focused on long-term solutions that help veterans successfully transition to civilian life.

Paycom employees across the U.S. participated in the challenge, with the company donating funds for every burpee completed. From 2022 to 2026, Paycom employees have done more than a half of a million burpees, contributing substantially to this vital cause.

“Year after year, this is one of my favorite campaigns to support because of the awareness it raises and the impact it has on those who have served our country,” said Tiffany McGowen, senior executive vice president of HR and talent acquisition at Paycom. “I’m proud of our employees for continuing to rally behind this important cause.”

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 17.7 million veterans live in the United States, representing a community with diverse experiences and needs. The Courage Foundation’s Veteran Integration Program gives registered veterans a free, 12-month program of peer support, coaching and self-regulation training, including breath work and daily routine planning. The program helps veterans mitigate post-traumatic stress and build strength physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually to rediscover purpose.

“Leaving service is one of the hardest transitions a veteran will face, and Paycom’s partnership meets it with real resources,” said Sid Ellington, strategic advisor to The Courage Foundation board of directors. “Paycom’s commitment ensures veterans have the support they need to thrive.”

Paycom honors a year-round commitment to veterans through its Military Veterans in Paycom employee resource group, ongoing veteran hiring, support for organizations like Folds of Honor and The Courage Foundation and its participation in the Department of Defense SkillBridge Program, which provides transitioning service members with paid work experience.
