Axalta, Odyssey Build Bikes for Boys & Girls Club of Philadelphia

Jan. 24, 2014

Jan. 24, 2014—More than two dozen children from the Boys & Girls Club of Philadelphia received brand new bikes last week when 130 high-level executives from Axalta Coating Systems and Odyssey Teams Life Cycles partnered for a team-building program.

The event used a bike building exercise conducted by Odyssey to show Axalta participants how to work as a team and continually improve the customer experience. The completed bikes were donated to a group of children who participate in an after school enrichment program conducted by the Boys & Girls Club of Philadelphia.

“Odyssey has provided a great opportunity to partner with the non-profit sector and the community during our global leadership meeting,” said Charlie Shaver, chairman and CEO of Axalta. “Axalta benefits from the team building that goes into putting the bicycles together. The kids get to keep the bicycles we’ve built. Everyone wins.”
