The IMH Employee Committee hosted a Basket Raffle for the month of July and it was a big hit!
How it Worked
Various departments submitted their basket by Friday, July 10th to the Marketing/IT hallway. These baskets could either have a theme, or just simply be random items put together in a nice display. Then, from Monday July 13th to Thursday, July 30th, employees could come see the baskets, buy tickets, and put their tickets in the coordinating bucket of the basket(s) they wanted to win. We had some really awesome and creative basket submissions, as shown below!

In total, the IMH Employee Committee raised $631 with the Basket Raffle! “There were many uniquely themed baskets this year. Employees had fun bidding on their favorites, while also raising money for a good cause”, says Savannah Burton, the lead on this project. It was a fun activity for our employees that also raised money for our employees. It’s important to keep things light and lively in times like this, to have something for people to root for and look forward to. All in all, the Basket Raffle was a success that everyone enjoyed!
