Pack & Give It

This VolunTEAMism experience offers your group a purpose driven  Give to Win activity that  provides a heartfelt message from each participant to go with the cause of choice.  Your event can be held as a Group Activity or as an Individual Give “flow through” program.  In the Group Activity option we will start everyone at the same time, decorating and making cards, then filling their bag with the products.  For the Individual Give you can designate time opposite a breakfast or lunch, or throughout the day where people can just come by and participate.

 

Ø  Group Give:  Everyone participates at the same time as a team experience

 

Ø  Individual Give: We set up a “flow through” area where people can come by and participate during a breakfast, lunch or "giving hour"

 

Ø  Cause of Choice:  We can set up 3 areas with different projects for different causes

 

Pack for Domestic Abuse Shelters: This project includes a process where each individual will decorate a bag with flowers, well wishes and then fill it with the product needed by the local shelter. 

Pack for the Military: Decorate Mailer Boxes then write a card and include it with an individual appreciation note.  Then hit the supplies and fill it with snacks, healthy & fun, a book or activity game and other items as requested by the organization.

Pack for a Toys For Tots Program: Each group will build a “wagon” then wrap presents and fill it up for the delivery to the distribution center.  We team up with local fire departments or Marine Corps to make this happen. 

Pack for the Food Bank: Enjoy a fun “can stacking” to organize all the products then pack your bag for the homeless full of needed food & other products. Program is available for after school lunches as well as senior in-home care packs.

Build & Give IT

VolunTEAMism Build & Give It provides an opportunity for the participants to connect while building a project, then giving to the “cause” of choice. Choose from our community causes and recipients that are ready to go or we will work with a cause of your choice.   Each group of participants will assemble & finish while adding a “well wishes” card or poster or note to the project.  If timing permits we will have some of the recipients come to the Give to Win portion of the program so your participants can provide them with the finished project.

 

THE FOOD CASTLE: This collaboration game allows for a mix of “team-building” and giving to the local community food bank.  Groups take provide Food Product (that will be donated) along with added supplies to build a castle. (10) Participants per group.   
       Time:  1.15 – 2.0 hour based on time available and complexity desired

 

 

BIKE, TRIKE OR WAGON:  A meaningful activity where your group will assemble the product, or one of each, divided amongst the teams. Groups of teams must work together to share tools, pumps and resources. (8) Participants per group.  
      Time:  60-90 minutes (can stretch out with some relays) 

 

 

PICNIC TABLE: Build a wooden table, finish it and depending on the group, write a note of well wishes on the table.   (7-8) participants per give group

 COMPETE & DONATE IT!

Combine a Cause with some good Team Competition and you have an event that benefits both the participants and the recipients.  Instead of playing for points or a medal, your group will compete for cash that goes to the designated charity of choice.  We offer Just for Fun activities and some Value Added Challenges that require more “planning” prior to performing.  The program is designed to award at least 80% of the prize money agreed upon from the team performances and the balance will be donated as scheduled. You can choose one, two or three different community causes!

Team Superstars:  Just For Fun each team of 12 competes to win up to $350 in cash towards the charity.  There are five events in the competition to include the Wacky Obstacle Course, Oversized Shot Put, Ball Launch & Catch, Flatland Ski Shuffle & Slalom Weave Challenge.  Teams can earn up to 100 points in each challenge based on their place and each point is worth $1!   Earn $150 per team towards the cause!

The Sports Party:  Just for Fun as this fast 75 minute team challenge is perfect for a happy hour at the resort.  We set up eight different sports skill challenges and teams earn points as they rotate through the competitions.  Games include Golf Chip, Basketball Shooting, Baseball Pitching & Hitting, Tennis, Soccer Kick, Hockey Slap Shot & Race Car Rally!  15 to a team and each team can earn up to $100 per team for charity! 

The Amazing Chase:  This race provides (3) zones with scoring opportunities for each team of (8) participants.  The program combines pictures, clues & a physical challenge.  Teams earn up to $100 in each zone towards the designated charities.  Options include having an event at your resort or meeting place, a road rally (transport extra), or a digital hunt in the destination or unique city.   Earn $100 per team for charity!

The Cooking Competition: A simple team-cook off with each team responsible for providing 100 meals to a local food bank through the unique program.  Add a fun competition for cash “golf chipping” or other idea and let participants donate through winning a prize!  Best cooking team presents the cash check!

The Collaboration Challenge: Teams combine planning with performing and compete to build a structure to deliver products to the end destination. Each team earns money based on their achievement and then (3) teams combine their earnings to go for the group Give or score.  As an added plus we use “can food” in the construction and donate to the food bank. This program provides a message of collaboration with a charity cause as the outcome. 

Provided:  We provide the coordination, site selection, tools and trash haul while giving participants gloves, bandannas, water and a big thank you!

Not Included:  Transportation to and from, or adventure resources as kayaks or jeeps!

Collaboration:  We will collaborate with any vendor, community or non-profit clean up organization to make this event a win for your company.

Jeeps & Trail:  A 3-4 hour outing where the jeeps get the group into a remote location and the participants spend about 60-75 minutes cleaning up (or more) and also participate in learning about the environment through the guides.  Our VolunTEAMism guide will also present to the group the value of “group cleanup” outings back in their community.

Hike & Trail:  This program will combine a hike that allows the group to work in several areas as well as enjoy the outdoors.  Programs offered from 2-4 hours

Park Group Project:  Bring a large group to the beach, desert, road side or community and see what can be accomplished in clean up in just 2 hours. 

River Run:  A fun kayak run with fishing nets and grabbers to find and remove trash along the banks of the river.  A little competition for the “most” trash and the most unique items found! 4 hours
