Raffling off Christmas in the Workplace
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009Christmas can be a hard time for families financially, especially in this economy. It can be hard for parents to get their children the presents that their kids really want or even need. There has to be a way to aid them in that need. Of course there are giving trees posted up around the city where strangers can buy presents for children in need. I think that many business don’t know where to start when it comes to helping out the less fortune. I thought about pitching the following idea to each of my clients:
Each employee in their business could choose a family in their community and could donate a toy or clothing to a giving tree raffle that they business coordinates. The business can raffle off tickets to their employees to enter their name in the drawing to win some of the presents to give to their family that’s in need. This way the business is able to earn a little cash and help their community.
Most of all it just encourages people to get in the giving spirit and be others focused. That is something that we as a nation can definitely improve upon. It is important to take care of ourselves, but only to the point where we are bettering ourselves to be able to help others. Can you imagine what the world would look like if we cared more about each other than we did about ourselves?
