Charity Challenges

To enhance the event, Team Building Unlimited adds an element of competition and teambuilding into each of the Challenges.  Enter into the Season of Giving-Year Round.

Everyone is a Winner in this Philanthropic Teambuilding Activity!

Charity Challenges are great for Community Service Days, Meeting or Conference, Celebration or Holiday Party

 

Charity Challenge #1: Trikes for Tots

Build a Trike for a Tot. Each team receives the same Tricycle parts, and our trained facilitators supervise the event.  Participants will be challenged by several "children's competitive games" in order to receive the tricycle parts. The reward for building the Tricycles is the reward of giving back to the community. Trikes will be donated to the charity of your choice. Companies can choose their own charity or TeamBuilding Unlimited/Murder on the Menu can help you locate one in your area.

Variation: Bikes for Kids. 

 

Charity Challenge #2: Bears that Care

TeamBuilding Unlimited leads you in a Bears That Care Teddy Bear team-building event! This is a great way to bring your team together while providing comfort to needy children.

Each team will compete in a series of children's games and challenges to earn team points toward the "purchase" of parts and accessories needed to assemble Bears That Care. The competition continues as each person builds Teddy Bears (and other animals) and designs special Bear T-shirts that represent their team and their company.

Once the bears are completed, they are presented to local organizations: Shelters, Police, Fire, Disaster, Hospitals and more.

This Charity Challenge is fun and altruistic. It benefits your team and the children who receive the Bears that Care. It's a Win-Win team building event for your Team. Great for your Community Service day.

The Charity Challenge #3:
Rocking Horses

Teams assemble, decorate and paint Rocking Horses that are donated to your charity of choice. Once teams have completed their rocking horse, they will participate in a team Corral Building Challenge. Each team must work together to build a corral that completely encloses the entire team as well as the rocking horse inside the corral. All materials and tools provided.

 

Charity Challenge #4: Operation Military Giving

Especially at the Holidays, but all year round, TeamBuilding Unlimited offers this very special team building event that supports our troops!

This Charity Challenge incorporates Corporate Social Responsibility with TeamBuilding/ and TeamBonding. TeamBuilding Unlimited will lead your teams through an engaging, team-building activity that culminates in the final challenge: the assembly of fun and important items in "care" boxes for U.S Troops. Items included cover a large variety of toiletries, books, dried food, cookies and candy, batteries, music, clothing, Ziploc bags, games, beverages, and other snacks which will be used to fill the boxes to the top. Choosing the items to go into the boxes will also be a team effort and will be coordinated by the TeamBuilding Unlimited facilitators. Whenever possible, the staff from the benefiting service organization is there to receive the donations and convey their appreciation. This will also inspire the teams to continue to be involved and send much needed care packages in the future. The reward for packing the boxes is the reward of giving back to the troops. What a great team bonding activity for your team! In addition, each team will design and execute a t-shirt to go with the donation of each box.

TeamBuilding Unlimited can also include a series of fun "military" games to set the mood and determine the order of gift selection for the boxes.

 

Charity Challenge #5: Cupcake Decorating & Donating

TeamBuilding Unlimited is known for its sweet team events, but our Cupcake Challenge can be a great interactive and delicious activity that capitalizes on your team's creativity and sweet tooth. This is a great event to do before or after a meal and can be incorporated into your lunch, dinner or afternoon teambuilding treat. These cupcakes can be eaten by your group or donated to a local charity—or both!

Each team will be given paper to start, so they can create a Team Chef's Hat! Individuals decorate their chef's hat with their team name and anything else they feel is appropriate... or not.

Then the real fun begins. Teams are challenged to Decorate their Cupcakes so that they symbolize the team itself, the company, the theme of the meeting, their positions at the company, or another theme. 

In addition each team will be given materials to create a DISPLAY in which they'll be able to stack their treats into showpieces. Prizes will be given to best overall display!

Each team will be given Cupcakes that can be decorated or left as is. With a variety of cupcake design supplies, instructions on technique, tools and assorted decorating materials, your team will turn their concept into reality. Basics on cupcake decoration start the teams off, but very soon, your group's creativity takes over. After the cupcakes are designed, decorated and displayed, each team will create a "commercial" to present their cupcakes to the entire group.

And last but not least, participants can enjoy or donate their creations—or both. 

You can have your Cupcake and Eat it, too! 

 

Charity Challenge #6: Operation Backpack: Backpacks for Kids

Teams create, decorate and fill backpacks with school supplies that will then be donated to school groups, charities, or children's centers. Utilizing teambuilding skills such as communication, collaboration, planning, resource allocation, and creativity, your teams will excel at this philanthropic event! Working together each team becomes part of an even bigger team that makes a difference by providing basic supplies for children who really need them. 

This teambuilding event begins with a combination of different types of competitive Children's Games. Teams earn points to choose essential school supplies to fill the backpacks. Besides teambuilding skills, a lot of team bonding goes on during this meaningful and fun charity challenge, as your employees relive their early school years through playing "children's" games and filling the backpacks!

TeamBuilding Unlimited provides all the supplies, backpacks, games and prizes. Your group supplies the skills and energy. Length and complexity customized to client timeline.

 

Charity Challenge #7: Community Mural/Quilt Art Project

Participants work in teams to "design" a piece of a Mural/Quilt that will be donated to the charity of their choice. Each team gets 1-2 squares to design about or for the organization to whom the quilt (mural) will be donated, the holiday or the company itself. The theme may even be part of the challenge, as the teams decide on the theme of the quilt/banner. TeamBuilding Unlimited works with your teams to ensure the theme is appropriate for the charity—but the best part is the creativity of your participants. TeamBuilding Unlimited will guide your creativity, provide the materials, and facilitate the event. The "quilt" is then put together—by your teams—and donated. Favorite themes: The World, the Holiday, Children, Children's Games, Seniors, How Your Company is making a Difference—the Sky's the Limit! So tap into your creativity for a good cause.

 

Charity Challenge #8: Operation Red Wagon

The Red Wagon has become 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 will receive the same Red Wagon parts, and our trained facilitators will 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. An optional series of children's games can be added to this event.

Everyone is a Winner in this Philanthropic Teambuilding Activity!

 

Charity Challenge #9: Operation Red Wagon II:
Welcome Wagons

This is a twist on our traditional Red Wagon team building event. Wagons will be filled with various supplies depending on the receiving organization: Children or Families. We even have an optional Library Wagon that participants fill with Books!

Included in this event is everything in Operation Red Wagon I, with the addition that teams will also use their points from the competitive children's games to "shop" for specific items to include in the wagons. In this format, the high-energy activity quickly shifts from competitive to collaborative while trying to fill all wagons to capacity. Wagons can be filled with household supplies or children's toys, school supplies or a mixture.

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

Besides teambuilding skills, a lot of team bonding goes on during this meaningful and fun charity challenge!

 

Charity Challenge #10: Community Service Garden Project:
Project Green Thumb

TeamBuilding Unlimited will lead participants through a hands-on Green Gardening TeamBuilding event in which they work together to add trees, shrubs and flowers to public spaces, school, and parks. Project Green Thumb will match your participants with organizations that are in charge of these locations, and TBU will provide participants with all the tools, plants, and soil they will need to "Green the Community."

The Goal of Project Green Thumb is to establish a community service project that builds relationships through hands-on activities to establish community gardens, provide technical assistance, and provide a valuable service to the community.

Consider this for your Earth Day Celebration... or Any Time for Community Service. Give Back. Go Green!

 

Charity Challenge #11:
Gingerbread Cookie Decorating & Donating

TeamBuilding Unlimited has added another fun and interactive team event for the Holidays that also gives back to the community. We provide Gingerbread Cookies, decorating tools, decorations and icing, and your group provides their time. Gingerbread Cookies are appreciated by everyone. They can be whimsical, holiday oriented, the sky's the limit! Cookies can be donated to hospitals, firehouses, family shelters, senior centers and lots of other organizations.
