Joining the brigade - how can you help?
Individuals
– the power of one
One person can make an enormous difference. You can sponsor a
basket for just $25. Your tax deductible donation will enrich the
lives of a needy family this Christmas. The more baskets you can
sponsor, the more joy you can share. You might decide to collect
donations from friends, family or colleagues. Try a gold coin
donation at your next dinner party, or just spread the word about
the basket brigade and see how many people want to
join you!
Not in a position to contribute money? We still need your help.
Volunteers are required throughout the year, so give us a call to
discuss how you can help pack or deliver baskets.
You might even decide to enjoy the full giving experience … sponsor
a basket, attend the fun packing day and deliver to a needy family.
It’s a great opportunity to experience the joy of selfless
contribution.
Larger
groups and companies – scaling it up
Many companies and organisations use the Basket Brigade
fund-raising as a chance for team building. Encouraging a group of
colleagues to work together
to sponsor baskets is a powerful bonding experience. Some
workplaces hold a special day when people donate cash, food or
gifts. It can be as simple as wrapping a box and placing it in your
reception or lunch room to invite the generosity of others.
On a larger scale, you could make the Basket Brigade the focus
of fund-raising throughout the year. Just $2500 will feed 100
families and let them feel the true spirit of Christmas. With just
a little effort, your organisation can help brighten the lives of
families who are less fortunate. Of course, donations over $2 are
tax deductible. Your staff are very welcome on packing day. Working
as a team to put baskets together or helping deliver them builds
spirit and cooperation.
Sharing the experience of making a difference in the lives of
others is invaluable. An option some companies took last year was
to match dollar for dollar the donations made by their staff. We
are full of ideas – just give us a call and we will help you make
it happen.
