By age forty, 50% of Canadians will have or have had a mental illness.

YOU can help change those odds.

Mental health is a huge part of our lives, our work, and our communities. A Dollar a Day is thrilled to once again work with Paladin Security to support Canadian charities who are on the front lines of mental health and addictions care.

We are challenging each Paladin Security Canadian office to become a Dollar-A-Dayer by collectively raising $365 per office. To date and through the years, Paladin Security employees have contributed over $30,000 to A Dollar A Day, and we are aiming for an additional $10,000 this year!

All funds will go directly to frontline partners to help those facing mental health and addictions challenges. Paladin Security employees are welcome to recommend charities in their local areas that they think A Dollar A Day should support, on their donation form.

The challenge begins Tuesday 3rd September 2024!

How can I help to get more donations?

There are lots of ways to put the 'fun' into fundrasing!

Casual dress day

Organize a day when anyone who brings a donation can dress however they like for work that day. You can even add to the fun by making it so that employees can 'sponsor' each other to dress differently - have employees pick one of their colleagues AND the outfit they will wear on the specific day chosen, if they donate a specific amount.

Hold an in-office raffle or 50/50

Have a fun prize or use the excitement of a 50/50 to get team members excited. Donate the proceeds as part of your site's campaign.

Host a bake sale, in office or out in your community

Everyone loves a sweet treat so get your team bakers to whip some up and 'sell' them for donations.

Auction of Services

Some colleagues might be great at simple DIY or know how to knit a classic toque. Hold an in-office auction where a few employees donate their time or skills as prizes. The rest of the office can bid against each other to try and win, with the proceeds being donated.
