Charity Team Building Events

Yes. Previous clients have taken elements from the Amazing Race and incorporated a fundraising element for a charity donation. For a ready-made version, Race to Make a Difference turns a race into a charity challenge, and Challenge for Charity brings the same idea indoors with a booklet of challenges. Contact one of our team members so we can create something special for you and your team.

Your CSR team picks the activity that fits your company values, our facilitators run it, your people do the work together and a real donation is made. Several activities also give you something to show for it: SolarBuddy Hour of Power and StudentBuddy PowerUp come with a distribution report with photos, Skateboard It Forward includes a detailed impact report, Helping Hands recipients send photos and a thank you letter, and in Challenge for Charity a charity representative announces the total donated on your behalf. That gives your corporate social responsibility programs real evidence of their positive impact to share with the rest of the business.

Each activity has its own recipient. Tikes On Bikes bikes go to children through a local charity group. Skateboard It Forward boards are checked, then donated to Red Frogs, who pass them on to young people aged 13 to 30.

Backpacks for Bright Futures backpacks are handed to a charity representative at your event. SolarBuddy Hour of Power lights are delivered within 3 months of assembly, and Helping Hands prosthetics are checked by quality control before they reach the recipient. In Boxes for Good, the charity depends on your event’s location, and in the two competition formats the donation goes to the charity you or your teams choose.

Yes, that is Tikes On Bikes. We split your group into teams of about 6, and each team builds a bike and helmet that is donated to a child from a local charity group, with a minimum donation of 5 bikes. The children can also come along on the day to receive their bikes from your team in person. We have run Tikes On Bikes since 2007.

As a guide, our team building cost guide puts charity and give-back events at $99 to $250 per person including GST, because “you’re paying for a fully facilitated team-building activity plus a high-quality donation on top”. The price of your charity team building program depends on the activity, your group size and the donation. Our rates are volume based, so larger corporate groups receive a lower rate per person. WIRES Wildlife Workshop is charged in 2 parts, the event fee plus a contribution to WIRES, and in Challenge for Charity the challenge amounts are adjusted to fit your donation budget.

Yes, in many of our activities. For Tikes On Bikes, Challenge for Charity and Backpacks for Bright Futures, we are happy to work with the charity of your choice, or we can recommend one. In Race to Make a Difference, each team can pick a charity to compete for, or your company chooses one for everyone. LEGO Build to Gift supports Ronald McDonald House, and a different charity can be arranged for an additional fee.
