Bassett Begins With A Basket Event

 

The W. E. Bassett Company kicked of their 2008 United Way Campaign with their 2nd annual basket raffle.  Employees created baskets that were then raffled off.  Their goal was to exceed last year’s basket campaign ($1099).  We far exceeded that amount and raised $2177.00 towards our 2008 united way campaign.  

The baskets consisted of the following: 

  • Boys back to school backpack filled with school supplies

  • Girls back to school backpack filled with school supplies

  • Spa basket

  • His/hers spa basket

  • Party in a cooler – a cooler on wheels filled with picnic/party supplies

  • Sexy secret basket – basket filled with items from Victoria secret

  • Bassett brands basket – a tote bag filled with Bassett brands items, polo shirts and a $50 gift card

  • Cash box – a box covered with $100 cash

  • The "strike it rich money" bush – with $180 work of cash/lottery tickets and gift cards

And the grand prize – 5 paid vacation days

Thank you for showing us how to make campaign fun!!
