Subject: Join ESPN & The V Foundation and Show Your Spirit Author: jeisel [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:08:56 08/18/04 Wed Hi everyone, I don’t know if you’ve heard of this but on September 7, ESPN will help The V Foundation for Cancer Research launch the inaugural national "Show Your Spirit Day!" It’s a really fun and easy concept. Fans have fun and wear their favorite teams' apparel to work that day (or thereabouts) and in exchange make a donation of $5.00 (or more) to The V Foundation for Cancer Research. For this "Show Your Spirit" campaign, 100 percent of the donations will go directly to fund research grants. Most of you remember Jim Valvano's passionate plea at the ESPY Awards in 1993 that we need to do more to save lives - our family members, our children's children. "Don't give up...Don't ever give up!" Imagine the impact for cancer research, if millions of fans banded together and took these small steps. For more information, please log on to www.jimmyv.org and click on "Show Your Spirit." Show Your Spirit Day! Event Tip Sheet Match Contribution: To encourage company participation and donations, agree to make a commitment to employees that the company will match the cumulative contributions made by them. Tailgate Party: Create an onsite tailgate party for the end of day and celebrate with food and fun. Raffle: Each participant could receive 5 raffle tickets to use for various employees incentives such as: a comp vacation day; a 2-hour lunch; or a half-day of work pass. Alternative Dressing: If an organization does not allow for sports apparel dressing, then perhaps encourage employees to don team colors in ties, scarves, dress shirts, etc. Participation Incentives: Appoint team captains for each department. Team captains who sign up the most participants get a prize or the department with the highest percentage of participants gets a free catered lunch brought into the office. Best Fan Apparel Contest: The participant with the most spirited sports gear wins a prize determined by the company. The V Foundation Memory Board: Create a display board for people to make donations in honor or memory of a person who battled cancer. Call to Action: Provide participants with various educational and informational brochures on the topic of cancer and various outreach groups. Institute Pledge Support: Motivate employees to get family and friends involved by developing a pledge support system. Award the employee with the most outside support pledges with a prize like movie tickets or gift certificates to a local restaurant.
