Each month, GMR Charlotte goes Casual for a Cause (CFAC) for one week. They choose a benefitting organization and each employee donates $5 per day that they come to the office in casual attire.
January’s initiative supports Ward Gibson, Account Executive at GMR Charlotte, in his mission to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as he puts himself up for auction.
Ward is one of 30 bachelors & bachelorettes each with a unique date package (that they created themselves) for the Guys & Dolls Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction in Charlotte, NC February 25, 2012. Each contestant is assigned to a team connected to a child suffering from Cystic Fibrosis. Ward’s team supports 3-year old Oliver Bleune (aka ‘Superman’!).
To help Ward achieve his goal of raising at least $2500 in donations for the charity, GMR Charlotte staff is volunteering at the night of the auction as well as securing donated items to incorporate in his date package and the event’s silent auction. GMR staff is also donating money to purchase tickets to the event.
Ward’s date package is based on the Parks & Rec bit that two of the characters do: “Treat Yo Self,” which includes a trip to Myrtle Beach and a day of pampering with a manicure and pedicure, salon services and a shopping spree.
Even if you can’t be there, you can still donate to this great cause. Visit Ward’s donation page to make a contribution.
