The details
How Mini-Golf Build and Food Donation works
Mini-Golf Build and Food Donation is a fun charity team building program where your group will design, construct and play a mini golf course using canned and boxed food items. Working in teams, each hole has a special theme and rules, unique to that hole. After the course has been built, an entertaining tournament ensues with scoring and fun competition. Once completed, the course will be deconstructed and the food donated to a predetermined food bank or similar organization.
Looking for a way to combine creativity, friendly competition, and community impact? The Mini-Golf Build and Food Donation event challenges your team to design and build their own mini-golf holes—using non-perishable food items that are later donated to a local food bank.
This interactive program encourages collaboration, resourcefulness, and out-of-the-box thinking—all while making a meaningful difference for people in need.

Program Agenda
After an energizing warm-up, your group is divided into golf teams of 10. Each team is tasked with designing and building a unique mini-golf hole using canned and boxed goods, indoor/outdoor carpeting, cardboard, and decorative materials. Teams are responsible for the hole’s construction, layout, theme, and even the rules of play.
Once the full course is completed, participants rotate through the holes to play a round of team-designed miniature golf. Officials ensure each hole’s rules are followed and that gameplay stays on par (pun intended!). No golf experience necessary—this game is all about innovation and fun.
Following the tournament, teams break down their creations and repack the food for donation. In many cases, a representative from the receiving organization joins to personally thank the group and share how the donations will be used.
