Colorado Combined Campaign
Social Media Language & Key Dates
Use these key dates to guide your outreach to your department. Thoughtful reminders keep the campaign top of mind without overwhelming your coworkers. Many employees get busy and simply miss the opportunity to participate. The #1 reason people don’t give through workplace campaigns is that they don’t know one is happening. By sharing timely updates, you can make sure your colleagues are aware, informed, and encouraged to join in.
Important Note: Due to the changes associated with the campaign shifting from management by Community Shares of Colorado to CHC: Creating Healthier Communities, the URL associated with the campaign has changed. Please make sure all communications use the new URL, cccgives.org.
Key Dates:
- Campaign Opening (Oct 20)
- Thanksgiving week reminder (Nov 25)
- Giving Tuesday (Dec 2)
- Colorado Gives Day (Dec 9)
- Last Day (Dec 12)
