Pfizer Canada Combines Teamwork and Giving Back with a Build-A-Bike ® Team Building Event
The real competition, using each other’s strengths to solve puzzles, to get some bike parts. After a lot of “figuring it out” helping others, and getting some help, sixteen bikes stood waiting for the touch of a small hand and foot on the pedal.
Surprise! They were rewarded by seeing sixteen shy but eager kids claim a bike, specially made for them.
Yes, there were a few tears. Kids from the Toronto area now understand that many people care about them, that the world can be a pretty good place, that they now have control over at least one object, their bike. Empowering a child to feel cared about and giving them the power of two wheels is a gift they will long prize. Pfizer employees felt the palpable reward of giving back.

It goes to Pfizer’s company motto, “It takes more than medicine to be truly healthy.” It takes a community. Build-A-Bike ® may be a perfect fit for your next conference or corporate meeting. by Connie Timpson/Sr. Instructor/Performance Coach/The Leader’s Institute ®
