Corridor Goes Casual For Kids!
What does "Corridor Goes Casual For Kids" mean?

kidsIt's a way to wear jeans or other casual clothing to work and support kids without writing a big check. The whole Cedar Rapids - Iowa City Corridor has designated September 1 each year as the day we Go Casual For Kids! It is an extremely easy way for companies, government entities and all other organizations to help our dedicated local groups that address the many needs of children (and have some fun at the same time!). Read on to see how simple, yet powerful, it is.
 
How to Participate

It's WAAAY easy!

  1. Designate someone to communicate CorridorGoesCasualForKids (Kids Day) to your staff in fun ways, and to manage whatever internal promotions you choose to use
  2. Decide the Kids Day organization you will support, how you will communicate to your staff and how you will handle funds
  3. Tell your staff that Sept. 1 is CorridorGoesCasualForKids (Kids Day) and that they can purchase the right to wear jeans or other casual clothes to the office on Sept. 1 by donating $5 to your selected Kids organization as part of the Corridor-wide effort
  4. Promote it, do it, give it, enjoy it!
Mission: To focus the Eastern Iowa Corridor on the needs of children with an annual fundraising event that maximizes direct-to-the-kids support by emphasizing affordable donations and wide participation while minimizing overhead costs and controls.
Official: Seven corridor City Mayors and the Johnson and Linn County Boards of Supervisors have signed Proclamations designating September 1 of each year as Corridor Goes Casual For Kids day!
 
News Update

We finished the inaugural annual Kids Day last year with 143 organization participating as corridor children's supporters. Since Sept. 1 this year is a Saturday, Kids Day will be Friday, August 31.
