Campaign Tip

Spice Things Up with Friendly Competition
Competition among departments is a great way to engage employees, increase participation in your company campaign and encourage giving. Try a United Way trivia contest, a baby picture guessing game or a costume competition. Use incentives like United Way campaign mementos or company-specific incentives like a reserved parking spot to reward employees.
