Dear Chicago Tech Community,
We'd like to invite you to participate in the 1st annual Tech the Halls Chicago!
What is Tech the Halls Chicago?
We all know that the holidays are a time of giving, but as a company, it can be hard to determine exactly how to help those in need. This year, GiveForward is rallying the Chicago tech community to participate in some friendly competition that will bring awareness to your ventures while at the same time helping to ease financial hardship for Chicago families like the Gile Family.
Here's how:
We are inviting you to participate by “adopting” a local family. Basically this means that your company agrees to match 10% of donations to a family. We're suggesting $500 from each company, which would generate at least $5,000 for local families facing a medical crisis, but you can do whatever amount you feel comfortable with.
Why you'll love this:
Besides the amazing feeling of knowing you're helping a fantastic family, your company will also receive:
- 10 free tickets to our 5th annual Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl on December 1st (a $250 value);
- Your brand, logo, and link on the GiveForward page you adopt and with every matching donation;
- The awesome feeling of creating unexpected joy!
Please let us know if you would like to participate ASAP by clicking here. After that, we'll send you a list of families to choose from. The competition begins on Nov. 27th (Giving Tuesday!) and will culminate with GiveForward announcing the company that helps raise the most money by December 27th.
Ho, ho, hope you join us :)
Desiree, Ethan, and the GiveForward Team
