Restaurant Night!
Work with a local restaurant to dedicate one night per week where they donate a percentage of their sales to your Relay team's fundraising efforts.
Jeans Day at the Office!
By now, many companies already have a "casual Friday," so why not have people pay to wear jeans on Monday? Nothing beats waking up on Monday morning and not having to worry about what to wear to work after a long weekend. Obviously, you can choose whatever day works best for your office. Be sure to get supervisor approval, and endorsement.
This can also be changed to fit your community...for example, in Philadelphia during baseball season, many companies will allow "red and white" Friday - where employees can wear Phillies clothing. Check with your supervisor to ask if you can do something similar to raise money for your LLF team, as well as show support for your local sports team. |

DO'S & Dont's
Mind Your P's & Q'sSaying Please & Thank you can go a long way! ANY size donation deserves the same appreciation that your larger donations do.
DO ASK for donationsIf you don's ask, they may not donate.
Don't 'beg For donations'Sometimes people don't understand how important it is like we do.
Stay away from phrases like: It's ONLY $5 Can't you donate something?! I mean come on people... These things can be misconstrued and your true reason for the cause may be overlooked. You want to make each person feel and know that their hard earned money is going to a GREAT cause! DO Put meaning behind your wordsYour donation WILL help save lives.
