Encourage your staff to wear purple on October 24th,
offer incentives such as “Wear Jeans with Purple”, or
offer an edible treat for all “purple” employees.
Have your dining services serve cookies or cupcakes
with purple icing.
Send photos of your “purple” employees and event to
[email protected] and make sure to prominently
display your organization’s name in the photo so
everyone who sees our Facebook page and Web site
knows that your company supports our cause!
Request JBWS materials for display in your
organization; posters, pamphlets and business cards
will help spread knowledge of our non-profit’s mission
to prevent domestic violence. Someone you know
might need help from JBWS.
Support the prevention of domestic violence by
gathering donations on behalf of JBWS. An example
for small businesses is to promote a one day “5% for
JBWS” campaign, where your business donates 5%
of Purple Thursday’s revenue to support JBWS.
Sponsor a collection drive on behalf of the families
living in the safe house.
Be creative! Anything you do to support Purple
Thursday becomes an integral part in spreading
awareness of domestic violence and the services
available to those currently suffering.
