Build-a-Wheelchair®

Our event this week was an incredible success.

I want to particularly thank Paul – from start to finish he came in as a partner – listened to our unique point of view, learned our goals, and made this more fun than I could have dreamed.  We do lots of team building for our customers and for our team and this was by far the most joyful we have ever been while also accomplishing our goal of supporting those in need.

SO THANK YOU!  The laughter and smiles we heard and saw will keep us filled for many months to come.

Thank you for an extremely organized Build-a-Wheelchair event. Our entire group here from Keolis Transit America enjoyed the activities very much. It was a great team builder and the most fun was the silly photo and marketing pitch at the end. We rated your facilitator a 5 out of 5 and was great and are interested in your company delivering another charitable team-building program for us this year.

Everyone really enjoyed our Build-a-Wheelchair event! We had so much fun interacting with our host and playing the games during the program. We rated our host 5 out of 5, he was great and everyone loved his humor! I feel this was a very memorable event.

Working together on the build & the questions was fun. We really enjoyed bringing in veterans to pick up the wheelchairs. All very pleased. Our facilitator had great energy and clear directions.

Our facilitator was terrific, hardworking, and thinks outside the box. Everyone seemed to enjoy ALL aspects, but the racing was fun and funny!!! Very meaningful and terrific to have the charity come and speak on behalf of the disables veterans.  

The best part of the team building was figuring out how to build the wheelchairs together. Our group loved when we raced the wheelchairs. Everyone was very engaged and loved it. Our facilitator was fantastic. He had a great personality, great leader, gave clear instructions, and went with the flow very well. Amenable to our style and competitive nature.

The ‘warm-up’ exercises conducted by our facilitator and the wheelchair assembly were so fun. The group loved it! Our facilitator had lots of energy, getting the folks moving and engaged; very focused on us while working with us. Everyone enjoyed the event; we liked that we had an outcome that supported others in the course of also doing team building.

We had a group of both Sales and Account management and we loved that they were broken into groups so they didn’t just work with people they were used to seeing on a daily basis. Honestly, I think the whole Build-a-Wheelchair program was fun, loved the ice breakers and seeing them all laughing and having a good time, enjoyed seeing them work as a team and loved the wheelchair races at the end! The feedback we received from the group was that they really liked this event, loved the part that we were doing something for the veterans and being able to be a part of that. Your lead facilitator and his assistant were great, very personable and high energy, just what we needed! Very happy our budget allowed us this opportunity and will look to do another in the near future!

I wanted to extend an extremely heartfelt thank you to the Best Corporate Events team! Each team member we worked with was extremely committed to the highest quality experience for our 270-person wheelchair build. Your tireless efforts to create a meaningful and seamless giveback opportunity and team build event for our group was best in class! We heard nothing but positive feedback from those who participated, including “the wheelchair build made me feel very proud to be a part of Constellation.” Thank you for all your work to make the event a success!

The best “team building” aspect of our Build-a-Wheelchair program was the interactive questions and tasks that needed to be done together on the iPads. The most fun was building and racing the wheelchairs. I would like to thank you for a great, smooth running event and experience. It really brought team members together and we received mostly great feedback. Your staff was very professional and I appreciate all you did. Thank you again for your help and your lead facilitator, who was great with our group as well.

I must first say what a pleasure it was being in the company of some wonderful individual last evening at your event. The welcome was very warm and I was humbled with the reception we received. I am also again appreciative for the opportunity you offered me to talk to your group. On behalf of all the veterans to whom the wheelchairs would be going to, I say thanks in advance, to Continental Building Products, to you, and your management team, and your leadership for this most generous donation. It will go to great use and will be well received. On behalf of the officers and members of the VFW Post 1177, I thank you for your kindness and your donation

I want to thank all of you for helping us with such a successful event yesterday! Despite our last minute timing, everything ran perfectly. The wheelchairs arrived a day early, your lead facilitator was set up and ready before we were, the donation was executed flawlessly, but most importantly – everyone on our team had a great time! Your lead facilitator tapped into the extremely competitive nature of our group and dialed up the energy really high. His enthusiasm and leadership got and kept everyone completely engaged right from the start and was a major contribution to the overall success. Even though this was the first time our team used Best Corporate Events, we won’t hesitate to engage with you for future events and certainly will recommend that other groups at Adobe tap your portfolio of activities. We found the one that suited our team well – right down to the wheelchair races at the end – and I’m sure others will as well.

I just wanted to let you know that the team enjoyed the Build-a-Wheelchair event very much. Well done to your lead facilitator who executed the program very, very well! We will be sharing the success of this event with others in the organization. Looking forward to doing business again with you in the near future. Best regards,

I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for the amazing experience you helped us create for our delegates that attended the 2018 North America Bloc Convention last week. We heard nothing but positive feedback about the Team Building event and your host! It seemed that everyone who participated was honored to be a part of this special experience to benefit others. Please know that the planning and preparation made for this event was key to its success. Your hard work and effort were deeply appreciated and it was a pleasure working with all of you.

Best Corporate Events did a wonderful job at organizing the Build-a-Wheelchair event. Our clients thought the challenges on the iPads were a great team builder and the group as a whole enjoyed the activities and charitable aspect of the program. Your lead facilitator did a great job too. Thank you!

Your lead facilitator was great! Only heard wonderful feedback from the client and attendees about their Build-a-Wheelchair event. The challenges on the iPads were great and very interactive and the overall competition was fun.
It truly makes a difference when the receiving organization can be there to accept the donation. The group loved it!

The event was a tremendous success! Your lead facilitator and his team were simply incredible. His skills at working the crowd organizing and building the wheelchairs and then having representatives of the Disabled Veterans of America come in to pick up the wheelchairs and give a speech, was beyond my expectations. I would be more than happy to be a reference for you in the future if you ever needed one.

I wanted to properly thank you for the teambuilding Build A Wheelchair event last week in Phoenix! Having just reviewed the feedback surveys it ranked as one of the highest parts of the meeting and many folks commented on the relevance and meaningfulness of this event. The activities and charitable aspect of the Build-a-Wheelchair program are what made it one of the best team building events our group said they have participated in. The kick-off competition early on was fun and hearing from the MDA about how they will be using the wheelchairs was great. Our company really liked doing something meaningful and being able to do it outdoors. So, thank you.

Loved it. Our Build-a-Wheelchair event was very organized and our host did a phenomenal job for us!. The icebreakers and building of the wheelchairs were the best team building aspects of our program and the presentation of the wheelchairs at the end was fun.

Excellent program! Extremely organized! Our entire Build-a-Wheelchair program was fun, but the challenges to acquiring parts to build the chair were really greatly enjoyed. Everyone raved about this event; it was excellent.

The entire Build-a-Wheelchair program was executed extremely well. The relay race was really fun and our group enjoyed the activities and the charitable component of the program. It touched everyone and it meant a lot they were able to give back. This is second time using Best Corporate Events. Your team is amazing, professional and covers all needs. I can’t thank your two lady leads enough on how well they explain the event concepts and pull everyone together. They’re the Best!

The entire Build-a-Wheelchair program was terrific and extremely organized; all of our HR folks had a great time! The most fun was at the very end, giving the wheelchairs to the Vets! My team had nothing but good things to say about the entire program! A big thank you to your lead facilitator – he was phenomenal — great speaker, got everyone’s attention when needed — overall everyone had a blast!

Thank you very much for suggesting the Institute on Aging for the lovely much-needed donation from the Build-a-Wheelchair program you delivered for Facebook®. You are an awesome team! It was such a pleasure to meet you and your teammates. The majority of our clients are low income, so a wheelchair is a huge expense. We transition seniors who are in skilled nursing facilities and hospitals back into the community. We find them housing and work with them to help them be successful in living independently again. These wheelchairs will truly make an impact in the lives of seniors in our community. Thank you once again, it was truly a pleasure to work with you on this.

We just completed an extremely organized Build-a-Wheelchair event. The best team building aspect of this program was the group collaboration needed to complete the iPad challenges. Coming up with creative ideas to fulfill the requests was the most fun. Our group loved being active, being competitive and mostly, giving back to the community. I thought the program was really well run. Your lead facilitator was great to work with and was flexible with our schedule as we were running a little behind. Having the connection made for us with a local charity was so, so helpful!

This was a great teambuilding event. I got to meet different people in different functions within Ethicon. We also got to build wheelchairs for the wounded soldiers and test driving them to see how they worked. I’m looking forward to meeting the recipients and thanking them for honoring us with their service.

Your lead did a great job of facilitating the event and getting our guys engaged from the beginning. We learned a lot about each other and were able to work together toward a common goal. The most fun was the icebreaker but the wheelchair races were a hoot as well. Our group loved the activities and the charitable aspect was an added bonus. We had fun, but also were able to reach out to others not as fortunate.

Build-a-Wheelchair was a great program and we’d do it again. Our group enjoyed it a lot – I received so much positive feedback. I liked the picture taking on iPads of the different activities and watching the group build the wheelchair was the most fun. Our group really enjoyed the charitable aspect and it was great having Natasha from Soldiers of Angels come to the program and accept our donation.

Our Build-a-Wheelchair program was very organized. Building wheelchairs was a great team building activity and the wheelchair races are really fun. Our group enjoyed the activities and the charitable aspects of the program. It was a fantastic experience.

Our Build-a-Wheelchair event ran perfectly and the facilitation kept our teams on track throughout the event. The whole concept of giving a group of colleagues (most of which didn’t know each other) a mission to compete in iPad Activities in order to build the wheelchair was a great team builder. It got them out of their comfort zone and working together on a valuable cause. From what we observed, the wheelchair time-trial races were the most fun for our learners. It was also a valuable experience to “put them in somebody else’s shoes”. The iPad Photo challenges had a lot of people laughing and having a good time too! The iPad activities and facilitation galvanized teams of strangers and led them to the successful build of all wheelchairs. All of the teams that we observed were having a great time! A BIG thank you to your team. All of our Partner Stakeholders were very happy with this Charity Event! It was the first time this group had included a charitable event at one of their conferences, and it was a success!

I wanted to thank you for your amazing services! Our Digital Products Offsite yesterday was a complete success and it would have never happened without each of you. Working with your sales department during the conception of this endeavor was a joy. You were so responsive and detailed, it made the decision to proceed with Build-a-Wheelchair an easy one. Thank you! Your logistic department’s assistance and coordination really helped us out! And I cannot say enough wonderful things about your lead facilitator and his team. Onsite, he made the event come to life with his wit, humor, and knowledge of the program. The attendees were laughing and enjoying themselves the entire time thanks to him and his team! You had a structure for the event, but also made sure to adapt it to fit our group – such personalized treatment. Every encounter we had during the pre-planning and onsite was delightful. Please pass along our gratitude and appreciation to your team. They were fantastic! Again, I am pleased to have partnered with all of you on this – it was a hit! I’m sure Visa will be contacting Best Corporate Events for other events soon. Many thanks!

Our team loved the Build-a-Wheelchair event, as well as the charitable aspect. It’s great to be a part of a program that has a bigger purpose. It was fun to see everyone doing your Entourage icebreaker, going from being an individual trying to win, to having the entire organization cheering for the last two people standing.
I received so much positive feedback about this event. Thank you!

Thank you again for making everything great! Everyone loved coming together to work on the challenges in our Build-a-Wheelchair program. It was truly a great event, and having the representative receiving the items was a bonus. Thanks again for everything (and dealing with my nerves)! Your lead facilitator was absolutely terrific and delivered as promised and more!

It’s been a while since I first contacted your sales department to ask about what we might work on together… phew! We’ve covered a lot of ground since then with 4 big programs in 3 countries building a total of over 800 wheelchairs! A BIG thank you for everything that we managed to achieve. Your Build-a-Wheelchair event was a HUGE hit for us at Dell.

Our Build-a-Wheelchair event in Bangalore, India turned out to be a high-energy event dedicated to such a wonderful cause. Thanks for running the show. You guys made it look simple. It was plain joy and a pleasure meeting your lead facilitators to learn about each other’s culture. We had over 750 participants build 209 wheelchairs in 75 minutes! Thanks everyone for your support and helping put together the first giving back initiative for the combined Dell technologies team. Cheers!

The whole event was great and everyone worked really well together answering the challenge questions. Completing with the other groups to get to see who could finish the wheelchairs first was fun. Everyone loved the activities and charitable aspect of the program.

Build-a-wheelchair for veterans was a great cause. The program was fun and encouraged thinking outside the box. I liked being able to move throughout the iPad challenges without having to do everything in order. Allowing the groups to loosen up and not be so straightforward was a good team building experience. Taking pictures in different themes made it fun. A special thank you to your staff for the great job they did keeping the event going, no one was bored. It will be an event we will definitely do again. And, I will definitely pass along the name of Best Corporate Events.

The best part of our Build-a-Wheelchair program was working together as a team, whether a faculty member, staff member or a new student and learning how to collect the parts (metaphor for collecting data for our program). It was fun spirited competitiveness and very organized. Our group enjoyed it very much and talked about it the whole rest of the afternoon.

Your company was very responsive to our questions about the event. Our Build-a-Wheelchair program was extremely well organized and your lead facilitator was awesome. He really knew how to engage the team and have fun with them too.
Working together to build the wheelchair was a great team builder. Our group loved it. I have received a ton of positive feedback.

Our Build-aWheelchair event went off without a hitch. Your lead facilitator was amazing, and our team members had an absolute blast! They said it was the best corporate event (no pun intended) they’ve ever taken part in!

My group thought the Build-a-Wheelchair program was great! Your lead facilitator was a great leader, had a great personality, made it fun, kept people engaged, and was very organized. He kept all the groups progressing during the build sessions. The icebreakers were really fun too and our participants loved the finished wheelchairs.

OMG – the event was fabulous – don’t be surprised if one of our others Markets contact you,. Everyone loved the event. The gentlemen from the Disabled American Veterans organization were very gracious and appreciated our efforts. Sorry for being panic stricken – but from the moment I spoke to our lead facilitator on the phone I felt everything was under control. He is a great host and got the crowd involved and pumped up from the start. I apologize for getting panicky. I am sure you will be hearing from us again in the near future. Thanks for all of your help and patience, you were wonderful.

They LOVED their Build-a-Wheelchair program! The energy of your San Francisco team and their lead facilitator was fantastic! The trivia questions on the iPad seemed to be a huge hit and made our groups rather competitive with each other. It was very well run and worry free for me.

Regarding my client’s Scavenger Hunt and Build-a-Wheelchair program, you were all extremity easy to work with and understand the unique nature of corporate team building. I felt that I had a true partner from the start.

Thank you for the wonderful Build-a-Wheelchair event you just delivered to our team.  It was the highlight of our meeting and a great time was had by all. The vibe throughout the entire event was amazing. I can’t thank you enough! We will certainly be booking with you again!

Best Corporate Events did a great job with our Build-A-Wheelchair event for our National Sales Meeting. The facilitator was awesome and super involved on-site. We had local veterans show up to accept the wheelchairs and everyone in our team left feeling very inspired. All feedback from the NSM mentioned how awesome the experience was and we even got a shout-out from the CEO of Henry Schein for our commitment to charitable events. I can’t think of anything we’d do differently, but I definitely will turn to BCE for similar events in the future.

We had a great time at our Build-a-Wheelchair event! Your lead facilitator kept the group engaged and their energy levels high. The highlight of the event was hearing from the representative of the Disabled American Veterans organization. It was so impactful to hear directly from the organization that would benefit from our wheelchairs. Thanks!

Wow!! Where do I begin!! The Build-a-Wheelchair experience was FANTASTIC!! Everything was well organized and ran smoothly. The energy that your staff provided was uplifting and contributed significantly to the atmosphere. I did not see any areas of improvement. My entire experience was more than perfect. Everybody involved was friendly, helpful and responsive to questions or concerns. This was our first experience with this type of event and I have received nothing but positive feedback from the employees. Keep up the GREAT work!!! Looking forward to another event in 2016. Thank you.

Our Build-a-Wheelchair event was a huge success! Your lead facilitator was excellent and everyone had a GREAT time! It was so nice to be able to get together & have some fun while benefitting a good cause at the same time. It was actually our first teambuilding event and I didn’t know what to expect but after all the positive comments I received about it, I’m sure there will be many more in our future and I would certainly use Best Corporate Events again! Thanks so much!

The Build-a-Wheelchair program you delivered with iPads for our staff at Icon International was fantastic!

How was our Build-a-Wheelchair event? Awesome! Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time interacting and the challenges were very creative. Your staff was suburb! I will be using your company again!

The Build-a-Wheelchair event was a huge success and an excellent start to our week in Orlando. Your lead facilitator and his team led the session with great enthusiasm and passion, driving engagement from the start. Additionally, the icebreakers facilitated communication amongst all of us. While we are all familiar with one another, those activities along with the random group selections ensured that we interacted with many new people (or people we may not know as well) while building the wheelchairs. I don’t think I have any recommendations for improving the session – the entire activity was timed to perfection and the leadership team was terrific. I can’t thank you and the BCE team enough for starting our Orlando trip off on such a great foot!

Awesome Build-a-Wheelchair program! Your lead facilitator and her team were remarkable. Everyone was commenting on what a great job your staff did. You all are so professional and everyone had a great time. We all really enjoyed the team building exercise and can’t wait to do it again. Thank you very much.

I would like to say that our Build-a-Wheelchair event was an absolute knock out!! Your lead facilitator and his team were outstanding – they kept the entire group involved and made it so much fun. I would highly recommend Best Corporate Events for any event. It was one of the best team building events we have ever participated in. Everyone had a great time and felt so proud in honoring our veterans. Awesome job – well done!!

Our Build-a-Wheelchair team building event was a huge success with our company. Everyone loved it – we had a great time! THANK YOU! Your lead was a great facilitator!!

On behalf of the management team and employees at Netformx, want to thank your entire team for a wonderful experience.  Your facilitators did an outstanding job orchestrating all of the activities. There was much laughter, competitiveness and energy that was skillfully channeled toward a worthwhile outcome … the assemblage of badly needed wheelchairs for our service men and women. Thank you again so much for a truly memorable afternoon!

In my 12 years of managing engineers I have never had such wonderful feedback from my team for a team building exercise. The group thoroughly enjoyed the session, all felt that our ability to give back to the local community created a session that not only created an amazing team environment but allow them to focus on something other than themselves.

Your staff was amazing and very energetic. My team had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the tasks they were assigned in order to create the wheelchair and especially the course they had to run at the end. Being able to look at the videos and pictures that my teams took while doing the assignments was a blast and very helpful in keeping memories to share afterwards. They really liked that some members from the organization in which we donated the wheelchairs to were able to come and talk to us to let us know a little more of where the wheel chairs were going to.

Exciting, fun and engaging. One of the best team building events we’ve ever done. It really got everyone involved right from the start. What a great way to give back to those who gave so much for us and our country. It’s one that we won’t soon forget! I also want to say that your lead facilitator was a master at getting the group involved and engaged from the minute he said hello!

The Build-a-Wheelchair program was engaging and fun. I would definitely recommend it for groups that are competitive in nature and have the desire to meet and interact with their peers. It was not only fun and challenging but it also had a higher purpose…to give others a better life. It really makes a great impression.

Your Build-a-Wheelchair team building program was great. Thank you so much for the opportunity to give back. It meant a lot to all the Destination Management Executives attending the ADMEI Conference and we had so much fun doing it as well!
