SF businesses need to hop on board the I Think I Can Campaign!


There are a number of different ways that your workplace, or the places where your friends and family work, can be part of the 2011 I Think I Can Campaign. Everyone has a connection to at least one place that could be a sponsor, inkind donor, or participant.

The Campaign is a fun, exciting opportunity for businesses to make a difference in the lives of homeless youth, and to be connected with a feel-good, successful, innovative effort.

FINANCIAL SPONSORSHIP
We would love you to sponsor the I Think I Can Campaign and Launch Event with a gift of anywhere from $250 to $10,000; we have many ways to show off your generosity, listed below!

IN-KIND DONATIONS
1) Silent Auction and Raffle items
We need gift certificates, gift baskets, and other items for the silent auction and raffle at the Campaign launch event.
2) Thank you bags
We want to thank participants with various high-quality goodies, including products and gift certificates. This is great if you have a large quantity of items to donate.

PARTICIPATE AS A TEAM
Doing a group campaign will help build teamwork and morale, and will provide a fun new way for your employees to work together. Eat healthy lunches, walk around the block at lunch break, bike to work, or anything else you want.
