Fundraise for the NAVS: In the workplace!
Posted: 3 February 2009
There are a number of ways you can help raise awareness and raise funds for primates in the work place. Here we list ways you can have fun and raise money for our campaign:
Fancy dress or dress-down day!
Why not come to the office as a primate and see how much you can raise or by having the whole office come to work with an animal themed dress code! Alternatively have a sponsored dress-down day where staff come to your place of work in casual dress for a fee which can be donated to the NAVS.
Vegan treats
For those of you with a flare for cooking why not bake a delicious vegan cake or biscuits and charge colleagues for a slice of happiness!
Tea and Coffee genie
Charge people for making them tea and coffee by the cup or even for a flat fee for the whole day! Alternatively add a donation mark up to each item for sale in your work canteen.
Lunchtime fitness
Invite the office to partake in a lunchtime sponsored power walk, run or cycle. Great for the body and the mind. For those of you feeling brave why not take the stairs instead of the lift and see how much you can raise per floor!
Have an office make over!
Gentlemen would you or a colleague be prepared to shave off a moustache or beard for sponsorship? Ladies would you be prepared to have a radical hair cut?
Ask your place of work if they will match your sponsorship amount raised
Remember, every letter counts so please ask your work colleagues to write to their MEPs and MPs TODAY!
The NAVS is always delighted to receive photographs of our supporters participating in fundraising events - send your photo to Lisa Mitchinson, NAVS, Millbank Tower, Millbank, London, SW1P 4QP
Also, send a photo to your local newspaper and tell them what you are doing for laboratory animals.
