Boston Children’s Hospital Pet Charity Team-Building Event in Boston, MA

Boston Children’s Hospital hosted a pet charity team-building event in Boston, Massachusetts, on Oct. 27, 2026. Forty team members gathered at the hospital’s Binney Street offices after a day of intensive business planning. It was the group’s second event with The Leaders Institute. Six teams competed in Toys for Tails to earn pet toys and supplies. They donated everything to Sweet Paws Rescue.

Boston Children’s Hospital is a comprehensive center for pediatric health care. It is also the primary teaching affiliate of Harvard.

Hospital Team Earns Pet Toys for Rescue Dogs in Boston, Massachusetts

The event closed out a long day of business planning, and the teams were excited to have some fun. Toby Martini led the group through Toys for Tails. Six teams took on a series of lively challenges. Each win earned them pet toys and supplies for a local animal rescue. The group knew the donation was for dogs. They did not know about the surprise we had planned.

We had arranged for a local rescue to bring some furry friends to the event. Sweet Paws Rescue sent two people and two dogs. Team members played with the dogs, petted them, and posed for pictures. It is always great when the actual recipients show up. Hearing about a cause is one thing. Meeting it face-to-face is another.

Sweet Paws Rescue is a foster-based rescue that saves neglected and victimized animals and finds them forever homes. Its volunteers spoke about the great need for foster families for so many dogs. They also handled the location’s challenges without any upset. We’d like to thank Matt Cabral and the Boston Children’s Hospital team for having us back. We’d also like to thank Sweet Paws Rescue for the work it does for animals across New England.
