Talk to your employer and organise an appointment to present the opportunity for your organisation to support your team. They can support you in a number of ways:
-
Payment of the employees' entry fees for the event
-
Payment of company branded merchandise
-
Matched funding or a company donation towards the teams fundraising.
STAFF INVOLVEMENT
-
Staff involved in the event on the day (the team members).
-
Staff involved in the design of team merchandise.
-
Put a note on the intranet or in the newsletter with the team fundraising goal and ask staff to support the company team (letting them know the company will match the donation would be fantastic!).
-
Staff involvement in running a fundraising event (or simply their attendance) in the lead up to the event.
-
Ask all staff to get involved in the event by adding the team name and web page link to their auto signature and make it an organisational goal to raise a certain amount.
In the past we have seen tremendous support coming from different departments, floors, groups etc for corporate teams. It is a great team building experience!
CLIENTS AND SUPPLIERS
Ask your clients and suppliers to join you for the day and use the event as a ‘get to know you’ exercise out of the office. You will be surprised how many of them will be willing to support your team by making a donation as you support people with MS.
