Other great ideas
- If you belong to a service club or church group, ask if you can have two minutes at the next meeting to ask for support
- Always let people know what you are contributing - people are likely to match your contribution. (note if you start with a $2 donation, others will probably follow with $2)
- Ask your work to match what you raise
- Place a donation jar in your work café
- Be enthusiastic about the event when talking about it. Your enthusiasm will be catching
- Arm yourself with a few facts about the Cancer Society
- Ask your employer to have a dress-down day where employees can dress casually for $5
- Hold a "Kiss the Pig" contest where employees "vote" for managers by putting money in donation boxes with their picture on them. The manager with the most money gets to kiss the pig at a special gathering just prior to Relay For Life
- Hold an auction and auction off an employee to do office duties (don't you hate your turn to do the dishes)
