CHALLENGE 4 - ASK THE BOSS
Ask your employer if they would consider matching your fundraising, or making a donation through your fundraising page.

We can provide your company with any documentation they may need, including tax-deductible receipts, information about what we do and a letter of thanks and recognition.
