Corporate Vision Magazine recognized the company that pioneered the charity team-building industry.

We had no idea how big this would get. The whole group was laughing and having fun. Then, a group of local kids rushed through the ballroom doors to get a new bike. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room.”

— Doug Staneart

ARLINGTON, TX, UNITED STATES, August 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Leaders Institute® is honored to announce that it has won the prestigious Best Corporate Team Building Specialists 2026 award for its outstanding service in the corporate team building industry. Corporate Vision Magazine gave the award to The Leaders Institute® as part of its HR and Employment Awards 2026.
The Leaders Institute® pioneered the charity team building event industry with its first Build-A-Bike® event. Since then, its clients have donated more than $10 million worth of bicycles to kids all over the world.

“We had no idea how big this would get,” said Doug Staneart, CEO of The Leaders Institute. “I still remember that first Build-A-Bike® more than twenty years ago. We had the whole group laughing and interacting with each other. Then, at the end, we had a group of kids from the local Camp Fire organization come rushing through the ballroom doors to get a new bike. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room.”

Today, charity team activities are a standard request from corporate meeting planners. The company now runs several events that each donate items to a local charity or to children in the host city. Build-A-Bike®, the Ace Race®, and Rescue Bear® are the most requested.
