Philanthropic Team Building Events? Say What?
April 23, 2009
Assuming that you’re aware that team building events are conducted for the benefit of your people and the whole company, don’t you think it’d be better to get really good side results from a successful team building activity? Say, a combination of a really fun and exciting, and also philanthropic team building activity?
You probably did a double take on the last sentence above, but yes, it is possible, has been proven, and makes for a really good team building event. Imagine achieving two goals in one shot: you’ll be going home with a better team and with the great feeling of having to help the less fortunate.
We have some excellent team building events that involve charitable aspects. One is the Bikes for Tykes, a game with an overall goal of building a bike to give to children not favored by fortune. Teams will start with no parts at all, but they can earn parts by successfully completing different challenges throughout the length of the game. Finished bikes will be inspected by qualified bike mechanics before presented to the judges. The challenges can be fully customized depending on what you want to achieve from this team building activity. They can be challenges that can hone various skills including communication, leadership, teamwork and creativity, among many other abilities you want to your people to develop.
Another of our philanthropic team building events is called The Rookie. The main objective of this activity is for teams to grow a small investment into a big pile of money. They will do this through a range of tasks they are required to perform such as busking, creating artwork to be sold, shoe shining, and a lot more money making opportunities for the public. In the end, the money earned by teams can be donated to a charity of your own choice.
We don’t have as much chance to become great heroes, but these opportunities are great to grab. If you’re ready to become an altruist even just for a relatively small amount, then schedule these team building activities with us now at 1 300 267 738!
