Employee Fundraising Opportunities There are many ways your employees can support Special Olympics. Each Special Olympics Program offers its own array of fundraising opportunities. Following are some sample activities. Take part in one of the many fundraising events held by local Special Olympics Programs. One highly successful example is the Polar Plunges, a very popular special event among Law Enforcement Torch Run® volunteers across the country. Approximately 24 Polar Plunges take place every year in 15 U.S. states, helping to raise millions of dollars for Special Olympics Programs. Conduct fundraising campaigns on your company grounds. Create a fundraising event, such as celebrity gala or auction, using your company's resources. Host events for athletes and their families. For example, hold a Special Olympics Night at the Movies. Make financial or in-kind donations as individuals or through your company. Conduct a golf tournament to benefit Special Olympics. Name Special Olympics as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, will or employee payroll deduction plan. Return to Employee Volunteerism Home
