In your SHOW YOUR SPIRIT kit you will receive:

• “How to” Guide and Suggestions
• Personalized Participation Acknowledgement Certificate
• Collection & Return Envelopes and Collection Form

Corporate Match – many companies will match their employees’ donations, doubling your contribution to cancer research. Check with your human resources director for the procedure in your company!
Be creative and take your Show Your Spirit Campaign a step further. Come up with ways to motivate your team:
• Create a survivor/memorial “wall” or display using the download templates and sell basketballs (link to download center “Visual Tribute”(Basketball) or “building blocks” (link to download center “Visual Tribute” (Traditional) for a display honoring survivors and remembering cancer victims to motivate your team and visibly show support for cancer research.
• Create competition in the office between departments (challenge another department to raise more, or match your department’s contributions).
• Create a competition between rival teams (for example Duke fans try to raise more money than Carolina or NC State fans; Big East vs. ACC; etc.).
• Plan a Show Your Spirit event around the NCAA basketball first or second round match-ups. Fill out your brackets, set up the TV’s and host a pot-luck to encourage employee interaction and launch the campaign.
• Challenge and encourage companies with whom you do business to join you in the campaign.
• Come up with your own unique idea – and then let us know about it! Send pictures for the Jimmy V Website and future publications!
