• Help evaluate the campaign and plan for the next year.
• Make motivating and informative presentations to employee groups on the services provided by participating charities.
• Supply campaign brochures and pledge cards.
• Arrange tours of different charities within the community.
• Offer display materials such as banners, posters, videos, photographs, or interactive presentations and provide campaign give-away items such as T-shirts, water bottles, coffee mugs, key chains, or magnets.
