Build My Ride - Charity Edition

'Ticks all the right boxes for a corporate team event.' HSBC

Build brand new bikes to give to deserving kids and, at the same time, build your team... a "win win win win" event for your team, your organisation, the kids and you as the organiser.

The event in a nutshell:
* Complete team challenges to earn parts of bikes
* Build the bikes
* Give the bikes away to deserving kids
* Get medals

How this event works

From the outset your team is told that there is a "higher purpose" to the event - but not exactly what that purpose is.

A round-robin of 15-minute team challenges follow which will provide your teams with the parts and tools necessary to assemble a brand new kids bike. Armed with specific instructions, wrenches and enthusiasm, teams then start building brand new bikes.

At some stage through the building process, the kids arrive and, after being introduced (and teams realise what the 'higher purpose' really is), they help build their own bike. Teams now take it way more seriously!

The real power of the event comes at the end, when medals are presented to the winning team by the kids, who are then themselves presented their brand new bikes by each of the teams.

The team to 'earn' the bike parts the fastest, have their bike completed quickly and without failing their WOF wins. Mind you, everyone wins on this event as the act of doing something 'real' and 'good' as a team leaves the entire team with a great feeling of unity and lots of warm fuzzies (without getting contrived or forced).

We work with Child Cancer Foundation, Refugee Services, Kidney Kids, Ronald McDonald House or the charity of your choice.

'It's a great feeling being able to give something back to the community and a deserving family. Well done Team Elevate, I would definitely recommended this activity to others.' ASB
