Encourage friends, family, co-workers, and others to join together and take an active role in ensuring that children with disabilities receive the therapies and education they need
Forming a team links Heartspring with corporate America and the community in a partnership that supports our mission of helping children with special needs. Uniting businesses and individuals for a common cause through team participation creates positive community visibility. It also provides employees with a fun social outing at little cost.
There are many rewarding advantages to forming a team.
01 Increase community presence
Corporations and other organizations can gain positive exposure at PedalFest by encouraging employee team participation. Organizing a company team has proven to be a wonderful way to bring together employees, to boost company morale, and to show support for the community.
Supporting a corporate team also gives the company a chance to be publicly recognized for its commitment to children with special needs, and shows that the company cares about their community.
02 Employee Satisfaction
One of the best ways to promote teamwork and morale within a company is to bring employees together for a common cause—helping children with special needs served by Heartspring. A PedalFest bike team is an excellent way to fire up employees by sparking friendly competition between managers and departments as they vie to outperform the other. Forming a corporate team can also provide the company with a social outing for employees and their families.
03 Training and Fund Raising are Easier as a Team
Join together to host training rides, fundraising events and network. Corporate teams demonstrate how committed management personnel are to their employees. Bike stores are great resources for planning a training schedule.
04 Teamwork: The More, the Merrier
PedalFest is much better with a group of teammates to support and encourage each other along the way. Team riders can challenge each other, enjoy the scenery and rest stops, and make plenty of noise as they triumphantly cross the finish line back at Heartspring.
