Bears and Blankets: A Heartwarming Team Experience That Comforts Children in Need

Bears and Blankets is a deeply meaningful charity team building activity where teams come together to create comforting gifts for children who’ve experienced trauma. Through collaboration, creativity, and shared purpose, your group will build and donate huggable stuffed animals and handmade blankets to local organizations that serve kids in crisis.

This uplifting experience is a powerful way to engage your team while making a lasting impact.

Program Agenda

This event combines lighthearted competition with real emotional value. Teams of 8 to 10 participants compete in fast-paced, browser-based challenges (using Brainstorm and/or Minute 2 Win It activities) to earn the supplies they need to complete their builds.

The Brainstorm platform includes:

  • Trivia and puzzles
  • Photo and video challenges
  • Fully browser-based access (no downloads required)
  • Live memory capture with event photos and video clips

As teams earn points, they “purchase” supplies to:

  • Stuff plush bears to perfection
  • Decorate custom t-shirts to give each bear a unique identity
  • Swaddle the completed bears in warm, soft blankets

Every completed bear-and-blanket bundle will be donated to a child in need, offering comfort and a sense of security. Whenever possible, a representative from the partner charity attends to share a few words of gratitude, connecting the team directly to the lives they’ve touched.

Program Outcomes & Takeaways

  • Reinforces a shared sense of purpose and compassion
  • Provides an inclusive, creative space for every participant
  • Boosts team morale through meaningful collaboration
  • Builds deeper connections across departments and roles
  • Creates a lasting, emotional team memory through giving

Program Customization

Your program can be personalized for your group by:

  • Reflecting a company culture or event theme 
  • Work with our charity coordinators to select a local or national donation partner
  • Tailoring donations tothe  receiving organization’s specific needs

The possibilities are endless, but the outcome is always the same: a proud team of employees helping children to know someone cares. Ready to comfort children in need and inspire your team through giving? Book your Bears and Blankets event today!

      What is a Keynote Speaker?

      Keynote Speaker is an often-misunderstood term associated with simply a motivational speaker, breakout speaker, industry expert, etc. Most professional speakers are not actual trained Keynote Speakers, who are specialists, therefore in much lower supply, and in higher demand.

      Keynote Speakers are experienced, professional communicators who engage an audience, capturing the essence of a client’s meeting. They are able to highlight it to their audience while simultaneously delivering their own key concepts and proprietary content in an entertaining and impactful way. Most companies understand that this specialization is very much worth the time (around an hour) and the investment.

      In order to capture the perfect essence, a Keynote Speaker spends the necessary time researching a client’s industry, their issues, and their audience to craft a customized presentation into a unique and distinctive moment specifically for the client’s event.

      As a top Keynote Speaker, Tom Leu strategically uses compelling storytelling, humor, powerful visuals, audio and video clips, and audience participation elements to weave an impactful message into your event in a fun and memorable way. Tom can also pair his Keynote with Best Corporate Events programming, laying a foundation and setting a tone that best prepares participants for maximum engagement in the forthcoming team events that day.
