Yay! We’re excited to hear that you’re ready to build some team spirit! This is a great way to create some gees (that’s rugby lingo for “spirit”) in the workplace, share the joy with your book club or braai circle, or teach your learners the Joy of Giving. It’s also a wonderful bonding experience for a family!
Who can make a Team Pledge?
Any person or group of people who wants to pledge more than 20 Shoeboxes.
What are the benefits of making a Team Pledge?
- A team can very easily do national pledges, if multiple branches of your Organisation want to participate
- You get to jump the pledging queue, as we can allocate your pledges in August
- You effectively get an extra month to shop for your Shoebox contents, knowing who you have pledged for
- You can do fun team-building by decorating the Shoeboxes together (which we are happy to assist with)
- A Section 18A tax deductible receipt is available
- As a Level One Contributor to B-BBEE, Santa Shoebox earns its supporters 135% procurement recognition
What will I need to do?
- Select someone to drive the Project – Human Resources, Marketing, Reception, Teacher(s), Parent(s), Group Leader
- Liaise with team members and relay important information to them
- Ensure that all pledged Shoeboxes contain all 8 required items – all new, unused and age-appropriate
- Ensure that each pledged Shoebox has the corresponding Santa Shoebox label attached
- Ensure that all pledged Shoeboxes are delivered to the correct Drop Off point(s) on the correct dates
- A Drop Off is the event to which local donors who have pledged online, deliver their lovingly-made Shoeboxes; these take place at specific venues on specific dates late in October and early in November.
- Partner-run Drop & Go points are open from 1 October until the date of the corresponding Drop Off event.
