One of Best Corporate Events’ most popular team building event categories over the past ten years has been CSR-driven charity team building. Companies are always looking for ways to give back to the community, all while inspiring and bonding their team.
We offer a lineup of over 20 charitable CSR team building programs, all of which address your team’s desired goals. CSR programs are fun, impactful, and fulfilling, and focus on teamwork, trust, and communication that result in a significant donation to people in need.
Our needs assessment tailors your charitable team building event to achieve your team building goals simultaneously with your charitable goals, and customizes your program to fit your group’s size and allotted time.
Giving back has never been this fun and fulfilling! Over the years, Best Corporate Events has developed a successful lineup of charitable team building events and has built long-lasting relationships with top local and national philanthropic organizations. Our Charitable Resource Manager works closely with nonprofit organizations and uses her expertise to manage the distribution of the donated items.
Our corporate charity events can be delivered anywhere in North America. They feature group bonding activities designed to boost team spirit while helping less fortunate members of your community.
Our Charitable programs include team building activities in the form of games, trivia, and photo & video challenges delivered on iPads we provide.
Points earned during the competition are used to “earn” the items that will be donated to local and national charities. Charitable CSR team building programs lead the way in team building.
The people who benefit from our CSR programs include the following, just to name a few:
- Overseas soldiers
- Kids with cancer
- Men, women, and families without homes

- Foster children

Everything from the production, coordination, and facilitation of our programs is of utmost importance to us. To deliver the donated items in a timely manner, the purchasing, warehousing, and shipping are crucial to a successful program. Our Charitable Resource Manager works closely with the most reputable charitable organizations across America to donate the items to those most in need.
One of our charitable partners not only ships our Military Care Packages to servicemen and women overseas but also has a system for identifying which soldiers receive little or no mail from home, so we can be sure to send packages to those soldiers. When our Bike Build Donation program was created, our goal was to build bikes for children in after-school programs who had never owned a bicycle. Our nonprofit partners went even further by identifying students who had excelled in their after-school programs, as well, so that organizations can reward them with a bicycle.
The Mini-Golf Build & Food Donation program is an extremely fun, fast-paced, charity team building event where each team designs a golf hole. After each team designs and builds their hole, all participants get the opportunity to play each hole, competing for the gold medals. The twist is that each hole is to be built using canned and boxed goods.
After the event, all the canned and boxed goods are packed up and donated to a local soup kitchen or food bank. Our largest food donation to date was from a group who donated 6,000 pounds of food to the Las Vegas Rescue Mission. Here is what their coordinator wrote to our client.
“When the 6,000 pounds of food were donated, the director pulled me aside and said, ‘We had a meeting 3 weeks ago and came to the tough realization that this fall we would not have enough food to feed all the needy families of Las Vegas in our neediest time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In one amazing effort, you guys have solved that problem. Thank you!” Joseph – Las Vegas Rescue Mission
Our most popular CSR event is still the Bike Build Donation® program. We’ve delivered more bike builds to groups with 25 to 3,500 participants than any company in America. We’ve also delivered the largest Bike Build Donation on record.
In 2018, Lowe’s called upon us to deliver the largest Bike Build Donation in history. Over 3,500 Lowe’s managers from the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and seven-time NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson set a World record in Las Vegas by building and donating 1,048 bikes to deserving kids. Best Corporate Events was managing every detail of the event from start to finish.
“It was a great day for the 3,500 Lowe’s managers that participated in the Bike Build Donation event at the Sands Expo and Conference Center in Las Vegas. They set a World Record by building and donating 1,048 girls and boys bicycles, helmets, and locks to deserving children from Boys and Girls Clubs throughout the state of Nevada.” Dave – Lowe’s
Our second-most-popular corporate charity event is our Build-a-Wheelchair® program. When Dell bought EMC in October of 2016 for $67 billion, they celebrated the largest deal in tech history with our Build-a-Wheelchair charity team building event. It was delivered to over 4,000 of their employees in Southborough, Massachusetts; Austin, Texas; Cork, Ireland; and Bangalore, India.
“It has been quite a while since I first contacted your sales department to ask about what we might work on together for Dell’s merger with EMC… phew! We’ve covered a lot of ground in the meantime with four big programs, in three countries, enabling us to build a total of over 800 wheelchairs for donation. A BIG thank you for everything that we managed to achieve. Your Build-a-Wheelchair events were a HUGE hit for us all here.” Matt – Dell Global Communications
Other large charitable team building events include a We Care for Schools program with 1,900 employees at Novo Nordisk, a Locate & Donate SmartHunt® for 1,450 employees at Siemens Medical, a Donation Nation event for 900 people, an Operation Military Care program for 900 people at Allied PRA, and a Build-a-Guitar® event for 800 employees at Beacon.
These activities give companies something more productive and fulfilling to do during a large, multi-day company meeting besides the usual dinner or simple party. They can have fun and bond their team, and give back to the community, all at the same time!
Best Corporate Events has delivered charitable team building programs to thousands of small to large companies and we would love to design and deliver a charitable event for your team. Corporate social responsibility has never been more fun! Contact us to learn how we can help your team bond while giving back to the community!
