This was the case for a corporate group at MD Financial, who had already tried some of our most popular charity activities like&nbsp;<a href=\"\/team-building\/charity-bike-buildathon\/\">Charity Bike Buildathon<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/\/team-building\/random-acts-of-kindness\">Random Acts of Kindness<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the holiday season this year, they wanted to try something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-answer-wheelchairs-for-charity\"><br><strong>The Answer \u2013 \u201cWheelchairs for Charity\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<p>The solution was simple \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/\/team-building\/wheelchairs-for-charity\/\">Wheelchairs for Charity<\/a>.
