Our Y has an exciting opportunity coming up — the inaugural Colorado Youth Sports Giving Day on September 4!
I'm asking you to help in the following ways:
1. Share this amazing dollar-for-dollar match with your staff!
• Inspire Your Teams: Share the "why" behind this campaign. Remind everyone of the real-world impact we can have on kids’ lives.
• Engage in Outreach: Encourage your teams to reach out to their networks, share stories, and get others involved.
• Lead by Example: Show your commitment by actively participating in the campaign. Whether it's through fundraising, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, your actions will set the tone for the rest of the organization
2. Share your departments' donation page on September 4
A gift of any amount helps, and I am grateful for your support. The Daniels Fund match will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so the earlier donations are made on September 4 the better. The Development team has created a fundraiser page for each department to inspire healthy competition among you and your colleagues. The team with the highest number of donations as a percentage of number of employees will be invited to "Breakfast with Breezy" on a date to be scheduled.
