Attitude is Everything

“What can I do to help?” Cancer patients get this question all the time from family and friends who want to provide meaningful support, but just don’t know where to begin. While every cancer patient’s journey is unique, many share common experiences during their chemo and radiation treatments. In this activity, you’ll build patient care packages to boost their spirits while addressing real needs.

All the items your group makes will be delivered to hospitals and cancer care agencies for distribution to children and adults who are going through treatment. We’re always happy to identify recipients through our nationwide network of charitable partners, or feel free to designate a specific charity if you prefer. Either way, you’ll have a team of proud employees helping cancer patients to know someone cares.

Both continue to inspire the entire TeamBonding family. Remember – attitude is everything.

"The folks at TeamBonding did a fantastic job with our CancerCare event! Deric was energetic, teams were engaged and everyone had a great time. We also loved that TeamBonding connected us with a charitable organization and arranged for someone from that organization to speak to our group - it really meant a lot!"

"TeamBonding did a great job in organizing the teambuilding activity for my colleagues (group of 45 people). We chose Operation Cancer Care, which turned out as an amazing opportunity to interact with my colleagues while giving back to the community and learning more about charities for cancer patients. Thank you, TeamBonding (Kevin and Vereena) for your hard work and dedication!!"

"We didn't know what to expect with the event, however we were pleasantly surprised! We had so much fun in the icebreaker activities and really got to see a different side of the people we work with everyday. I'm glad we chose your company for our event---there were less than a handful of people out of our big group that didn't personally call me to tell me how much fun it was---Thank you for a great event!"

Allstate

"Thanks for reaching out. Everyone was very pleased with the event as they liked the interactivity and that we were able to donate so many packages to the Moffitt center. Stuart did a fantastic job running the event as he was able to engage the teams for their full participation. I have found that it’s not always easy to do with out-group but he certainly did it. If we have another future need, I will certainly reach out to your team again."

"The volunteer activity went really well and everyone at TeamBonding and Dustin and Stacy who led the activity on-site were all amazing, easy to work with, and super responsive. The next meeting we have like this where we want to incorporate team building or a volunteer activity will absolutely reach out. It was well done, people had a blast, and it made my life a lot easier then having to try to do it on my own. Thank you and thanks to the rest of the team!"

Tactile Medical

"Thank you for the great team yesterday! I had an excellent experience in the planning process – I had a lot of back and forth internally on when/how many, different ideas and you were always SUPER responsive! The team yesterday was awesome. Very helpful, kind, easy to work with and professional. Laura was a pleasure to coordinate with and CJ exceeded expectations in his energy and talent to run the room in such a fun way! I have done things like this before not with your company, and I am always a bit nervous about the onsite facilitators. Your team warmed up the attendees seamlessly in a very corporate-friendly way, which I so appreciate. I have received great feedback, so thank you, thank you THANK YOU!"

Favorites were building the structure from tongue depressors, Q-tips, Band-Aids, pipe cleaners, et al; and a positive, creative, colorful poster message, allowing us to think “outside of the box”. I loved being creative with colleague/team-mates! Your team was personable, professional and creative."
