Completing your registration for this years event will walk you through setting up your Fundraising Donor Site. This allows your friends and family to give securely online and the donations go directly to the charity – you don’t have to collect checks or cash.

Our goal is for every participant to raise $1500. The minimum fundraising required: $750 per participant

For every $500 increment raised, Safelite Associates will earn a ticket for a drawing to be a part of 2012 Safelite London Team!!

Bonus fundraising: Raise $2,500 and we'll reimburse you $300 toward your flight.

Afrika Tikkun is a worthy charity organization that is much-loved by Safelite and our parent company Belron. While we all aim to do all we can to raise money for the cause, please be considerate and mindful of your fundraising efforts.

Common sense guidelines for fundraising:

"Do’s"

• Set a goal for your fundraising
• Reach out to friends and family
• Tell the story of what you are doing and why you are doing it
• Ask for support and tell them what it will benefits

"Don’ts"

• Do not spam people, effective communications are ones that are timed appropriately, tell your message to people that you know
• Do not pressure or ‘nag’ for sponsorship. If fundraising via email - it is appropriate to send an introduction message to your friends and family, an update on your progress and goal and a thank you. Communications should be spread out to make sure your message is received and welcomed.
• Do not be coercive or disrespectful
• Some people may say ‘no’ and make sure that is okay. Do not badger for fundraising support.

Q/A for fundraising:

• Can I solicit co-workers?
• Be mindful of the relationships you have with your friends and co-workers. If this would be a strain to individual relationships, then do not solicit them. If it is not, it is acceptable to reach out for support.

• Can I solicit my clients?
• Be mindful of the relationships you have with your clients. If this would be a strain on the client relationship with Safelite then do not solicit them. If it is not, it is acceptable to reach out for support.

• Can I solicit my venders?
• Be mindful of the relationship you have with your vendors. If this would be a strain on the vendor relationship with Safelite then do not solicit them. If it is not, it is acceptable to reach out for support.

• I am a manager and have direct reports, can I solicit my direct reports?
• This is acceptable but be mindful of how/when your actions cross a line and become coercive. It is acceptable to let people know that you are participating and include your teams on communications to reach out for support.

Q/A for people receiving requests for support:

As an associate being asked to donate, do not feel obligated to make a contribution to any or all requests.
