Several companies offer events which allow your team or company to build teamwork and collaboration skills while building bikes that are then donated to needy kids via a nonprofit or charity. This is a great way to build teams while making a meaningful contribution to the world. The Leaders Institute claims that their Build-A-Bike® program is the "The Original Charity Team Building Event," created a decade ago, and that it led to the creation of the philanthropic team building industry.

===Bicycle Team Building===
Bicycle Team Building combines charitable giving with a fun look at our personal interactions in the workplace. We know that your group may not work on the same team, or even within the same business unit, so we take the time to listen to your needs and customize each bicycle team building event to help you meet those needs. These bicycle team building workshops help your team recognize how each member brings a distinct personality style to the group, and with this recognition comes understanding and appreciation for both their talents and their differences.
