Host a Dress Down Day
A Dress Down Day is a great way to support the Gift of Life Family House while enjoying the luxury
of a more casual day at work or school!
You simply choose a day when your organization would like to host a Dress Down Day to support the Gift of Life Family House. Then have your employees, students, classmates and/or co-workers donate a designated fee (typically $5 - you can decide) for the privilege to dress down. Remember, the more people that participate, the more money you will raise which will help make a difference in the lives of the transplant families that Gift of Life Family House serves.
All registered participants will receive a Donate Life bracelet to wear during the day so everyone will know they are supporting the Gift of Life Family House and helping to increase awareness in the
workplace of the importance of organ and tissue donation. Children's bracelets are also available.
We will provide posters in advance of the event to publicize your Dress Down Day!
