We are frequently sent great tips that can be used to enhance your fundraising campaign and we want to pass them on as possible ways to help you reach your fundraising goals. A great idea that was sent to us by Valerie is a "Jeans for Charity" day.  One of Valerie’s friends organized a "Jeans for Autism Day" at her law firm to help support their fundraising efforts for the Autism Society of Delaware’s inaugural "Walk the High Road for Autism" walk. 

Setting up your own charitable Friday:

• Talk to your employer about supporting a charity by having employees pay a fee (i.e. $5) to wear jeans on a Friday or every Friday of the month.
• If your office already has a casual Friday in place, select another day of the week, perhaps a Wednesday or a Monday as "Jeans Day for Charity".
• Find a charity that you think your office should support or support someones specific fundraiser!
• Send an email out with the link to the Firstgiving page where everyone can pay their "fee" to purchase their jeans privilege.
• Repeat as often as possible!

Thanks again Valerie!
