SHI’s Build-A-Bike® team building event in Warren, New Jersey brought 300 employees to Forest Lodge NJ on August 4, 2026. Teams competed through structured challenges to assemble bicycles and donate them to the Greater Somerset County YMCA. Participants came from Texas and New Jersey — two of SHI’s main operating regions. Many were meeting face-to-face for the first time or reuniting after a long stretch apart.
SHI is one of the world’s largest private IT solutions providers. The company delivers hardware, software, cloud solutions, and managed services to organizations in more than 15 countries. Their New Jersey headquarters sits in Somerset County. The donation stays in the community where the company operates every day.
SHI Employees Donate To YMCA During Build-A-Bike® Team Building Event in Warren, New Jersey
Coordinating 300 people into a focused team event requires a format built for scale. Build-A-Bike® handles that by dividing a large group into smaller competing teams. Each team earns bike components by completing timed challenges before the build begins. The competition creates real urgency — what each team earns determines what they have to work with. Once the bikes were built, they were donated to the Somerset County YMCA.
Megeen Dolan Laska from the Greater Somerset County YMCA accepted the bike donation at the event. She earned a perfect 5 out of 5 rating from the SHI team. The YMCA serves Warren and Somerset County through youth development programs, fitness and wellness resources, and community services. The bikes go directly into the programs the organization runs for families across the region.
We’d like to thank SHI for building an event that gave back to the community they work in every day. We would also like to thank the Somerset County YMCA for the incredible work they do for the community.
