Get Casual to Conquer Kids’ Cancer

image24

This summer, host a “Casual to Conquer” fundraiser in your office to benefit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. Empower your employees to have a little fun and make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer. Since 2000, volunteers have raised more than $146 million for childhood cancer research and with those funds researchers are developing better treatments and cures.


“I consider St. Baldrick’s the most forward looking and robust philanthropic foundation for childhood cancer.” - Crystal L Mackall, M.D., Chief, Pediatric Oncology Branch, National Cancer Institute


What is Casual to Conquer?

Participation varies by company, from one day during the summer, to every Friday, or even all summer long. Collect donations so your employees can ‘kick back’ by holding:

Flip Flop Fridays: Bare your toes!

Denim Days:Wear your favorite blue jeans!

All Star Days:Wear your favorite team jersey or t-shirt!


Already Casual?

Customize a Casual to Conquer fundraiser that best fits your company’s work environment. (We’ve heard of Hawaiian days, pizza days and bowling outings!)


“Casual to Conquer is not only a great way to support a cause our firm has embraced, but a great way to enhance employee morale. Some mornings it just makes getting off to work easier knowing you can slip into a pair of jeans and flip-flops.” -Kristin Downey - Director of Human Resources, AmWINS Group, Inc.
