Arrow Electronics’ (NYSE: ARW) Denver-based global
business-operations team joined forces with the nonprofit
organization Wish for Wheels recently to build bikes for low-income
children, just in time for the start of the new school year.
Wish for Wheels provides brand-new bicycles and helmets to kids
who otherwise could not afford them, helping to broaden their
opportunities for personal growth and a healthy lifestyle. The
nonprofit’s unique model bundles corporate philanthropy, team
building and employee engagements through collaborative bike
builds.
“Finding creative ways to build our team and our relationships
with our community is an important part of who we are here at
Arrow. This bike build was a fun way to work together and ‘pay it
forward’ at the same time,” said Arrow’s Vice President of Global
Business Operations Mary Beth Edwards, who organized the event for
her team.
In addition to the bike build, Arrow provided a financial match
to Wish for Wheels for the team’s volunteer efforts through the
Arrow Charitable “Dollars for Doers” program.
Arrow employees from around the world regularly work with local
nonprofits, extending the company’s collaborative and innovative
culture into the broader communities where they live and work.
