Charity Challenge: Red Wagons

TeamBuilding Unlimited has many different Charity Challenges. We work with teams at your company to choose and execute the best for your group. Working together to make something for children is a win-win event for your group, as well as the recipients of the wagon, bike, blanket, bear, or rocking horse!  One of our client favorites is Charity Challenge:The Red Wagon. The Red Wagon is a symbol of American childhood.

Teams work together to build wagons that will be donated to shelters, hospitals or child care centers. Our red wagons feature full-sized all-steel seamless body with no scratch edges, extra-long handle that folds under and steel wheels with semi-pneumatic rubber tires.

Each team receives the same Red Wagon parts, and our trained facilitators supervise the event. The reward for building the Red Wagons is the reward of giving back to the community. What a great team bonding activity for your team!

In addition, each team will design and execute a child's t-shirt to go with the donation of the Red Wagon.

A variation on this event is "Stuffed Wagons" (Red Wagons: 2-Welcome Wagons). In this activity, teams choose from a variety of materials to fill the wagons with toys, health supplies, school supplies, clothing, games, and more!

Everyone is a Winner in this Philanthropic Teambuilding Activity!

BLANKETS OF HOPE

TeamBuilding Unlimited offers several different charity challenges. One of our favorite is Blankets of Hope. In this Philanthropic Team Building activity, teams work together to create warm and cozy Blankets of Hope. 

Teams are given multi-patterned and solid fleece panels that they combine to make no-sew Blankets of Hope. Teams work together to cut and knot these blankets. There are many different ways to assemble and finish these great fleece blankets, so there is ample room for creativity, as well as practicality. Team members choose from a variety of patterns and styles of fleece, as well as finishing techniques. Working in teams of 2-3, these no-sew blankets are fun to make.

Once the blankets are completed, they will be donated to local organizations: Shelters, Police, Fire, Disaster, Hospitals or another charity. This Charity Challenge is fun and altruistic. It benefits your team and the children who receive the Blankets of Hope. It's a Win-Win event for your group.

Recently TeamBuilding Unlimited worked with a Silicon Valley group that assembled and donated 65+ blankets to the Family Giving Tree. The Family Giving Tree in turn donated them to the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital for the pediatric and oncology patients. It was a win-win event for all involved. TeamBuilding Unlimited was proud to play a part.

This team building event is a twist on our traditional Red Wagon team building event.

We even have an optional Library Wagon that participants fill with Books!

Working together each team becomes part of an even bigger team that makes a difference by providing basic supplies for families in need.

Rocking Horses for Ronald McDonald House

Last week TeamBuilding Unlimited led a leadership group from one of the premiere retailers in children's furnishings and accessories in a terrific Charity Challenge: Rocking Horses for Tots. The company doesn't offer rocking horses, but after this team building event, I wouldn't be surprised to see them turn up in a future catalog and stores.

The group did an absolutely amazing job of assembling and painting/decorating the wooden rocking horses. Each team spent time brainstorming their designs before implementing them. Each Rocking horse was beautiful and creative!

The Rocking Horses were donated to the San Francisco Ronald McDonald House. This charitable event had a huge impact on the company that assembled and painted them, as well as the children who received them.  It was a Win-Win experience!

Here's what Shannon, Development Coordinator,  Ronald McDonald House said:

The horses were gone within ONE day. We were planning to keep two of them at the House but the kids were having so much fun. They had the biggest smiles when Ron said they could have them as their own. What a wonderful gift. The horses are a perfect project for the House since we always have children in that age range. I’m happy I was able to be a part of it.

Charity Challenge: Rocking Horses is a great way to bring your team together while fulfilling CSR: Corporate Social Responsibility. Contact TeamBuilding Unlimited for more information.
