Rules for the Rock Your Cause! Awards.

  1. Any employees wanting to participate may form a team. You can name your team. You can get t-shirts for your team.
  2. Choose at least one nonprofit from the list of expo participants. Here are some examples, for now: food insecurity, pet rescue, homebound seniors, sick kids with cancer, homeless military veterans, environmental clean up, etc.
  3. Run a donation drive for items that go into a Care Package* for the clients your nonprofits serves.
  4. Ask your boss to hire a team coach to make it more fun. We have recommendations for corporate coaches.
  5. Fill out the bingo card and gather your donations from April 1- April 19 for a chance to win a prize and/or a trophy. 
  6. Bring your donation drive items to the Expo so volunteers can assemble them into a backpack, box, or bag!

  • Menstrual supplies for a care package for period poverty (Justice Necessary)
  • Recycled baby gear and clothes for mothers struggling financially (Weecycle)
