Workplace tips
A day or afternoon off
This will require getting permission from Human Resources or your supervisor but, if they agree, you can auction a day or afternoon off to your colleagues.
Dress down Monday or Wednesday
Again, you need to get permission for this, but hosting a dress down day on a weekday other than Friday is always a hit!
Carpool
Offer a carpooling service to colleagues who live close by and ask them to donate in lieu of chipping in for gas.
Brown bag lunch day
Ask colleagues to bring their lunch and donate the money they would have spent on lunch to your fundraising efforts.
