1. Instead of counting tips,
make tips count.
October 2012 is Tip Out To Help month.
Help your colleagues. Help yourself.
Become a Sponsor.
Each year, dozens of people – friends, family,
and colleagues – within the hospitality industry
find themselves hit with a financial crisis
because of critical injury or illness.
What if you and your company could help?
Well, we’re giving you an easy way to do that.
October is Tip Out To Help month.
The BC Hospitality Foundation is inviting
you to become a sponsor of their largest
fundraising initiative of the year.
And by becoming a sponsor, your employees
will have an opportunity to participate by
raising their own funds for the Foundation –
we’ll be working together to help our own!
Sponsors will have easy access to all the
necessary promotional materials for an ongoing
internal campaign: posters, newsletters, logos,
fundraising ideas and more. A dedicated
website is available for groups to register their
teams and contributions can be made online.
And, of course, anyone in BC can participate
by donating to the Tip Jar!
