The Ambassadors of Joy
The Employee Emergency Fund is a mutual aid fund for all employees, managed by the Employee Associations.
We are raising money to replenish the money.
We are raising money in two different ways:
Tickets for the Talent Show
Go to the Employee Emergency Fund Website Link and make a donation.
We will have the Talent Show in person at HLC 2000.
We will have Live Streaming of the Talent Show through Zoom
This is 'pay-what-you-can' and our suggested donation to get a ticket is the ACC Minimum wage of $23 /ticket
After making your donation, go to this form to confirm your tickets.
Votes for the Talent Show
The "winners" of the talent show are determined by audience votes.
Every ticket will come with one vote. You can buy more by making an extra donation at $1/ticket and filling out this form.
The three acts that raise the most money through votes will be our top three winners and each group will win a trophy made in partnership with the Make-It-Center!
To get Talent Show Tickets or Votes
Go to the Employee Emergency Fund Website Link and make a donation.
Fill out this form.
We will follow up with confirmation of your tickets and/or votes.
This is 'pay what you can'. Since this is a fundraiser for the Employee Emergency fund, $23 per ticket (the ACC minimum wage).
We would like to challenge you to donate the equivalent of one hour of your salary per ticket.
Approximate hourly wage by salary:
$25 - $50k
$30 - $60k
$40 - $80k
$50 - $100k
$60 - $120k
$70 - $140k
Because this is suggested donation, I will not be checking the exact amounts donated.
The winners will be determined by funds raised through votes. If you can't attend but still want to support your colleagues, you can still buy votes. Scroll down and purchase "votes" to help us determine the winners.
We are asking a suggested donation of $1 per vote. We will have a form closer to the event time where you can "cast your votes" for your favorite act (or, your favorite colleagues!).
Don't see your department but want to join?
We are asking co-sponsors primarily to help us with promotion. Spread the words, put it in your newsletter, talk about it in your chats or with your colleagues.
Co-Sponsors get the opportunity to table at the Talent Show and promote their departments and the great work they are doing. Plus you get to be on that list of very cool departments.
