Campaign in a Box 

Welcome to your "Campaign in a Box" which contains  resources to run a successful workplace campaign. Your work as an "in-house chairperson" is critical to our community's success. The majority of our workplace campaigns are scheduled between the end of August and middle of November each year.  We also hold "Pacesetter Campaigns" for companies wishing to take the lead in our annual Campaign; those companies agree to hold their workplace campaign between June and August.  If your company is not able to host a campaign during these times, we are happy to accomodate the time that's best for your workforce.
