Companies – how will you Go Yellow?

Last year our corporate supporters were very inventive in their Go Yellow fundraising. Can you help this year? It's great fun, great for staff morale and could help raise the profile of your company through media coverage. Some ideas:

  • Yellow Forfeits: Set a challenge for the team (for example, raise £50 in a day), with a yellow-food forfeit if the target is missed: such as eat a lemon or a spoonful of English mustard.
  • Yellow Day: Charge employees £1 for the pleasure of coming into work!
  • Yellow Sponges: Organise a sponge throwing competition. Pay £1 to throw a yellow sponge at your boss!
  • Dress in Yellow Day: Wear yellow for the day and pay £1. If yellow is not your colour, pay £2 and donate the money to St Ann’s.
  • Eat Yellow: Organise a yellow food-sale, bringing in yellow treats which colleagues can enjoy for a donation. Try custard tarts, lemon sherbets, banoffee pie, pineapple chunks. Why not ask your firm’s canteen to stage a Go Yellow food day for St Ann’s?
  • Yellow Competition: Hold a custard eating
    competition and place bets on the person
    with the best odds!
  • Go Blonde: Pay to wear a blonde wig for
    the day.
  • Yellow Cocktails: Have a session after work downing
    yellow drinks like pineapple smoothies or
    banana yoghurt.

Merchandise

A further way to support St Ann’s Hospice is to buy or sell the Go Yellow Merchandise. We have lots of Yellow novelties for sale. Take a look at our range here>
