TEARS SLEEPATHON 2017 TEAM CHALLENGE Business battling it out for good
TEARS SLEEPATHON TEAM CHALLENGE 2017 IS A UNIQUE TEAMBUILDING OPPORTUNITY THAT ALLOWS COLLEAGUES TO BOND AND WORK TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT IS ENGAGING, MEANINGFUL AND RESULTS IN REAL CHANGE IN THE COMMUNITY.
What is it? Are you up to the challenge of putting your empathy into practice at our TEARS Animal Rescue Sleepathon TEAM CHALLENGE 2017? Just you, your teammates and a rescue dog or cat in a shelter kennel for one night. Our aims are to:
1. 2.
Raise funds to channel into the lives of the most desperate dogs and cats in the southern peninsula, and Carry out an act of solidarity with all those animals who at this moment suffer illness, injury, neglect and violence, and who have found no relief yet.
When and where is it? You can pick either Friday 24 or Saturday 25 March 2017. You will spend 10 hours in a kennel – from 21h00 to 07h00 – with toilet breaks of course! The event will be held at our Sunnydale headquarters (that’s just past Fish Hoek) and our Wenga Farm cattery (just up the road from HQ).
Our part We take you through the process of registering your team and getting you started on your Sleepathon journey – we pride ourselves on an approach that is always hands-on and professional. In other words; we stay in touch through personal calls, emails and weekly mailers so by the time the event rolls around we’re firm friends. We’ve set up a GivenGain campaign and we’ll create your very own activist page which means your efforts to bring in sponsorship for each of your team member’s kennel hours, is simple, centralised and has increased reach. Our undertaking is to give our sleepathon brands and businesses extensive exposure across our sizeable supporter base using digital platforms as well as print and media exposure. We’ll match individuals with our dogs and cats on each night, and of course there will be a few creature comforts thrown in (porta-bathrooms, a sponsored meal, and delicious breakfast next morning, and you’ll be able to bring along your own folding chairs, blankets, sleeping bags, etc.). All in – it’s an amazing vibe!
Your part Teams can be as small as 3 people and as large as 15. They can represent a brand, business, practice, branch or book club – the sky’s the limit. Each team can choose their team leader who will register their members – we will guide you through the quick and easy process. It really is a walk in the park.
Now for the fun part! Each team member raises sponsorship for the hours they will spend with our shelter dogs or cats in a kennel. So: R200 x 10 kennel hours = R2000 total sponsorship for each team member. Some sponsors will donate R10 while others contribute R1000; just as long as all your hour slots are filled, our dogs and cats are happy! We’ll help with that GivenGain campaign and encourage our sizeable supporter base to get behind their favourite team by contributing to their hours. Your team, on the other hand, can challenge your business to match part or the total of their individual donations, challenge other companies in their industry, or ask their customers/clients to get behind their sleepathon. Think of all those fabulous posts – your brand engaging your customers or clients in a good cause!
You don’t always need to walk in another’s shoes to know how they feel. Sometimes the best thing you could do is sit beside them.
Still not sure (really)? We’re one of the country’s leading organisations in the rescue, rehabilitate and re-homing of domestic animals, as well as providing veterinary services and education to local communities. As a pro-quality-of-life, registered, nonprofit organisation, we rely on caring individuals and businesses to help us do what we do best. But don’t take our word for it. We dare you to do the sleepathon – meet our customers (they’re the cutest in the world!), lose your heart, love your colleagues and do good in the process.
