Many companies offer variations of bike building events which allow your team or company to build teamwork and collaboration skills while building bikes that are then ultimately donated to needy kids via a nonprofit or charity. This is a great way to build teams while doing good. === Build-A-Bike ® Team Building Events - The Original Charity Team Building Event ===Build-A-Bike® is the original charity team building event that revolutionized how fun team building events are delivered! Almost a decade ago, The Leader's Institute® came up with a brilliant idea to combine fun team building activities with charity donations, and viola! The philanthropic team building industry was created almost overnight. Bike team building events like Build-A-Bike® are great alternatives at annual meetings or conventions because they add fun and philanthropy without increasing your investment! The Leader's Institute® is still the industry leader in bike team building activities. In the past decade, we've given away almost $1 Million worth of bicycles to needy kids in cities all over the US, Canada, and Europe. Philanthropic Team Building: Allows for fun teamwork with a purpose. Lets team members build camaraderie in a high energy team activity.

===Bikes for Goodness Sake===
Bikes for Goodness Sake is a charity with a mission to share to Goodness of Bicycles with underprivileged children. We are a registered 501 c(3) non-profit. We work local bike shops and corporations to create events and distribute bikes to local children. We aim to create a cycling culture in North America by giving a bike to a child. Each bike we give comes along with a custom fit a helmet. The charity was started by Mark Smith and Pete Buck of Bucks Bikes in Austin, Texas. We help you and your company put on a charity bike building event and build a sense of team and community. It is easy, fun, and gratifying. Here is how it works:
You tell us how many bikes you want to build and the number of team members. Typically four to six members per team is optimal.
Bikes for Goodness Sake (BFGS) will work with a local Raleigh Bike Shop in your area to deliver the bikes, helmets, and tool kits. The Bike Shop will also have a bike mechanic at your event to check over the bikes after assembled.
BFGS sends you a quote for the bikes, helmets, and tools. We only offer bike-shop-quality bikes and helmets for these good kids.
BFGS will help you identify a charity or you can select one.
You can choose a simple bike build or a more elaborate team building event. We have programs for both. A simple bike build will take about an hour.
For a heartwarming surprise, we work to have the recipient children rush into the room after the bike build event to surprise your team. That is a special moment that no one will forget. Your team gets to enjoy to look on a child’s face when they get their new bike.

===Bikes for Kids Charity Event Team Building Activity===
Overview: We partner your company with a local Boy’s & Girl’s club from where the event is held. The event brings in the children and they become part of your team so the bikes can be custom fit to each child. Watching these children’s faces light up with delight is one of the highlights of this event. This team building event will energize your team, help them communicate more effectively and get them active and having fun. We do this by giving each team most, but not all, the resources they need completely build the bicycles. The equipment necessary to completely finish a bicycle is found with the other teams. Teams must come together, share resources and align strategies in order to be successful. Team Commercial Presentation: As part of the Bikes for Kids Charity event, each team is challenged to create a commercial advertising their bike. The commercials are judged on creativity, humor, teamwork and relevance to your meeting’s theme. This commercial can be tied in to any aspect of your company including: new product launch, company values, goals, meeting/conference theme, etc. Business application: Part of the give and take between teams creates challenges around cooperation vs. competition, breaking the “silo effect” and communicating effectively across departments. The teams engage in a self-facilitated debrief and explore ideas on how to break down these barriers between teams. At the end of the debrief each team reports out to the other teams their key learning and insights.
