dress down day for CHERUBS

[KarlaHolt]

The school I teach at has dress down days for faculty and staff every other Friday. We love our dress down days! Each dress down day we donate $3-5 to a cause of some sort and in exchange we get to wear jeans. Today the funds went to ALS. So, I put in a request for a CHERUBS dress down day! Imagine 150 + faculty and staff donating $3 each to CHERUBS! I can't wait!

I don't have the date yet as the Assistant Principal has to approve it but I will post when I do!

Does anyone else work at a place that does something like this?

Steve's school is doing the same thing for CHERUBS in March in memory of Faith. I think they put in a certain amount per trimester.

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Oh what an AWESOME idea!! Amazing!

[Damon andSharonknott]

WOW ... what a great idea..

[DanielleKessner]

That's great Karla. We had one of our cherubs grandparents do this at their work and the money was donated to CHERUBS Australia in his honour. There are a lot of places do it so I am sure there are plenty of other members on here who could request it of their work places.

Our treasurer (SIL) works for a company that do fundraising in 3 month lots. They sell fundraising chocolates and hold a BBQ. The money raised for that period goes to the chosen charity. They are currently doing it for CHERUBS Australia and I think we will end up with over $1,000.

Let us know how it all turns out Karla :-)

Today was very exciting! We raised $280.00 for CHERUBS! I had everyone talking about CDH. Many people did not know that Braden was born with any complications.

I hope I can do it again next year!

[Damon andSharonknott]

Karla,
WOW - what a brilliant day you guys had :)
Looking forward to hearing how next year goes.
hugs

[DanielleKessner]

Excellent Karla! That is like half a month's worth of Research Site your day has raised. Must feel so good!

[joannamonteiro]

Great Work Karla... Glad it went well.

Great job Karla!!!!!

[AmyMiles]

That is great! We don't get to dress down at our school but maybe I will use charity as a way to start it and CHERUBS will be first on the list!

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

That is WONDERFUL Karla!! I love all the ideas that everyone is coming up with!!

[StephanieOlivarez]

I am having another dress down day at my school for CHERUBS. We set up all the dates in September for the year. CHERUBS is on the calender for January 22, 2010! I hope we can beat our total from last year!

[Chris and TracyMeats]

That is so wonderful your school does this Karla!! Hope January 22, 2010, is a success!!

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Karla that is great! You did so well last year.....I have my fingers crossed for January!

I was just thinking about you last night and dress down day. I was watching our local news and we have 2 high school footbal teams that they featured. The first one all wore pink socks on the field for breast cancer awareness as well as selling over 500 t-shirts, having a "pink raffle" and other stuff at their game last night. The 2nd HS team all did this in red for Heart Awareness. This team just lost there coach recently as he had a heart attach on the field. Both teams even had the awareness ribbon on their helmets. And these boys were serious about it!! 8-)

I was thinking that it sure would be cute to see a few football teams with our awareness ribbon like that! And could you just imagine pink, blue and yellow socks with white clouds?!?! LOL

[KarlaHolt]

That would be awesome!

We have a "pink out" football game for breast cancer too! I'm hoping I can get a student to adopt CHERUBS for their senior project. That would raise awareness and funds!

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Awesome Karla! That would be great! I hope that you can get one to do it!

Maybe we should all start a "HS letter writing" campign!! 8-)

Thanks for some ideas ladies. My brain juices are flowing today. I too work at a school and it happens to be the same school that my Cherub belongs to.
