Hands-On Team Building with PIMCO Since 2019

Foster Love recently joined PIMCO employees in Newport Beach for another exciting team building event for a hands-on project. In this latest team building with PIMCO, their team helped assemble 15 bikes and 15 skateboards, all of which were brought back to Foster Love’s headquarters in Brea to be shipped to foster agencies across the country. 

These ongoing team building activities have created countless moments of joy for foster youth since 2019, with PIMCO lending their support through various activities, from building Birthday Boxes and Superhero Boxes to, more recently, assembling bikes and skateboards, which seems to be the new team favorite!

Building Bikes, Assembling Skateboards, and Creating Connections

The day began with a warm welcome and an introduction to Foster Love’s mission, which was especially meaningful for many of the PIMCO employees who have joined us for past team building events. Assembling bikes and skateboards required teamwork and collaboration, allowing PIMCO team members to bond as they worked together to create something special. 

Whether tightening bolts, aligning wheels, or adding final touches to skateboards, every detail was a collective effort that brought the team closer. The energy and enthusiasm were contagious as everyone took part in bringing each piece together.

Each bike and skateboard built by the team would soon bring joy to a foster child, providing them with not only transportation but a sense of adventure, freedom, and normalcy. 

For kids in foster care, items like these are more than just toys—they’re opportunities to explore, exercise, and simply have fun, building self-confidence along the way.

PIMCO’s Longstanding Commitment to Foster Love

PIMCO’s dedication to community impact has only grown over the years, with each team-building event contributing something unique to foster youth in need. While PIMCO has enjoyed assembling superhero boxes and birthday kits in the past, they’ve recently found a special joy in constructing bikes and skateboards. Bringing together their team’s creativity and compassion, this focus on creating items that offer both function and fun underscores their commitment to bringing joy to children’s lives in practical ways.

Reflecting on a Rewarding Day

This event marked a meaningful return to in-person gatherings, allowing everyone involved to witness firsthand the impact of their efforts. As they worked side by side, PIMCO team members also had the chance to reflect on the importance of supporting children who may lack the everyday opportunities many take for granted. 

Team building with PIMCO continues to show how powerful hands-on activities can be. Through team building, they have continually helped us foster a sense of care and community that will reach these children across the nation.

Looking Forward to Future Collaborations

Foster Love is incredibly grateful for PIMCO’s continued support and the impact they’ve made with each initiative. We look forward to our next opportunity for team building with PIMCO, where we can come together once again to empower foster youth with essentials, joy, and encouragement. Together, we can continue to make a lasting difference in the lives of children in foster care.
