Everything from the production, coordination, and facilitation of our programs are of utmost importance to us. In an effort to deliver the donated items in a timely manner, the purchasing, warehousing, and shipping of the items are crucial for 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 has the amazing ability to not only ship our Military Care Packages to servicemen and women overseas but has a system of identifying which soldiers receive little or no mail from home. When Bike Build Donation originally evolved, it was our goal to build bikes to children in after-school programs who had never owned a bicycle before. Our nonprofit partners went even further by identifying students who had excelled in their after-school programs as well and rewarding them with a bicycle.
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 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 was 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

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®. When Dell bought EMC in October of 2016 for $67 billion dollars, 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 located 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
