Bike Build Donation®: A Charitable Team Building Experience That Makes a Real-World Impact
Bike Build Donation® has been enjoyed for many years by groups large and small. Participants will recall the incredible feeling of building bikes for charity and giving back to their community in a touching and impactful way. Groups use our new Brainstorm game and/or Minute 2 Win It activities to earn the parts needed to assemble bikes for kids in need.
Program Agenda
The program kicks off with a fun icebreaker to get everyone “in gear,” followed by a walkthrough of the experience by a professional lead facilitator. Teams of 10 compete in interactive games using our browser-based Brainstorm app to complete trivia, puzzles, and photo/video challenges directly from their own devices—no downloads required. As teams accumulate points, they “purchase” bike parts from the on-site bike shop and begin assembling their donation bikes.
After the building is complete, teams:
- Perform a mechanical safety check
- Add decorative, hand-written notes of encouragement
- Participate in a group photo
- (If time and space allow) Take part in a fun bike parade
When possible, a representative from the receiving charity joins the event to personally thank your team and share how the donations will make a difference.

Program Customization
This program can be tailored to suit your group’s needs and goals, including:
- Choice of challenge activities
- Collaboration with our charitable coordination team to select recipient organization(s)
- Inclusion of multiple bike sizes for varied age groups. The standard 20-inch bikes are suitable for 6 to 10-year-olds. We also offer tricycles for young children ages 1 to 5 years old and 26” cruisers for teens ages 13 and up.
Bike Build Donation® is one of our most popular give-back programs, and every 20-inch bicycle your group builds comes with a helmet and a lock for safety. A variety of skills including organization, delegation, communication, and some mechanical skills will be used in building bikes for charity.Ready to build something meaningful?

Thank you so very much for yesterday’s Bike Build Donation event. We had such a great time together… your lead facilitator was the best ever! One of our colleagues who joined us wants to have the same event at his U.K. facility. It has been a pleasure working with everyone at Best Corporate Events to make this wonderful event happen!
