LAM Research Builds Bikes for Foster Youth in Portland, Oregon

The Lam Research team came together with Foster Love last week for an impactful event that supported youth in need. Their 120 attendees brought together employees from different departments to work on a shared goal: building bicycles for children served by Trillium Family Services in Portland, OR.

Lam Research Team Builds for Good

For Lam Research, this event wasn’t just about giving back—it was also an incredible opportunity for team building. Bringing together 120 employees in a collaborative, hands-on activity fostered teamwork, communication, and a shared sense of purpose.

As participants worked together to assemble bikes, they strengthened relationships with their colleagues and contributed to something bigger than themselves. This type of team building resonates with Lam Research’s values by promoting unity, creativity, and a commitment to making a positive impact. Events like these inspire employees to work as a team and remind them how their collective efforts can change lives.

Trillium Family Services: Supporting Families in Need

The bikes were delivered to Trillium Family Services, a Portland-based organization dedicated to supporting families facing mental and behavioral health challenges. Trillium’s mission is rooted in providing hope to families who feel they have nowhere else to turn. Whether addressing an immediate mental health crisis or supporting ongoing conditions, Trillium offers tools and resources to help children and families navigate their unique challenges.

By partnering with Foster Love and Lam Research, Trillium can extend its reach and offer even more resources to the children and families they serve. The bikes are just one example of how these partnerships create tangible, meaningful outcomes.

Why Bicycles Matter

A bicycle can be much more than a mode of transportation; for many children, it represents freedom, joy, and self-reliance. For foster youth and kids receiving care through organizations like Trillium Family Services, these bikes offer a chance to explore their world, stay active, and build confidence.

The bikes assembled by Lam Research volunteers will go to children supported by Trillium Family Services. Trillium works tirelessly to provide mental health and behavioral support to young people and their families. Their mission is to offer hope and equip families with tools to overcome challenges, gain new skills, and realize their full potential. The bicycles, while simple, align with Trillium’s focus on growth and empowerment by giving kids a tangible tool to help them feel independent and capable.

A Shared Commitment to Helping Others

Lam Research is known for its innovative solutions in the tech world, but this event demonstrated the company’s dedication to giving back. By taking part in this bike-building event, Lam Research showed how its values of collaboration, creativity, and community impact come to life.

The smiles of the children receiving these bikes will be the lasting legacy of this event, but the connections formed among Lam Research team members and the inspiration they took away will also have a lasting impact. Events like these remind us all of the power of coming together to help others and how even small acts can make a big difference.
