Wheelchairs for the Disabled
Anyone who is physically disabled well understands the absolute need for wheelchair donations for similarly disabled persons. Unfortunately, many physically disabled persons are without proper resources to purchase the needed wheelchairs and assistance. So how can you help?
Corporate Teams delivers an engaging, fun, and fast-moving team building program that keeps teams on their toes. Our master facilitators manage your team through a series of objectives that result in the gift of a wheelchair to an individual or a family in need.
Organizations worldwide are involved in projects to provide free wheelchairs to persons with disabilities who are not able to afford a wheelchair on their own. By helping such people with a wheelchair donation, while simultaneously propelling your team and leaders to a higher level of performance, you are providing a BIG WIN-WIN for everyone involved. Bring a smile to the faces of the physically disabled by making their lives just a tad easier.
