Best Corporate Events helped Biofrontera, Inc. incorporate a corporate social responsibility team-building program into their annual sales meeting, enabling the organization to donate 570 pounds of food (475 meals) to the Phoenix-based United Food Bank.

Biofrontera is a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Germany.

BEST’s Mini-Golf Build and Food Donation program had Biofrontera sales team members design and construct a mini golf course using canned and boxed food items, April 12 at The Scott Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, according to a press release.

After a competitive tournament, the team’s creations were judged for originality and creativity, awarding a trophy to the team with the most original mini-golf hole. Upon completion, the Biofrontera sales teams deconstructed their creations and donated their food items to United Food Bank.

“Our National Sales Meeting is a time to recognize what the organization has accomplished and prepare for the year ahead,” Mark Baldyga, Biofrontera, Inc. vice president of sales and marketing, said in the release. “We have made a significant investment in our sales force this year and the meeting was a great opportunity to bring the team together formally and informally. CSR-focused team building exercises like this one help to strengthen the organization while also doing good. We are proud to be giving back to the local Scottsdale community.”

“We are always thankful when organizations put a high value on supporting their local community,” said Melissa Nelson, United Food Bank community engagement manager. “Incorporating CSR into team building events like this one not only raises awareness for local nonprofits like ours, it makes a huge impact on employees and the community. Doing good feels good. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
