In prior years I've organized a cookie exchange. Over the last few years less and less people have taken part. As part of the exchange we always asked for an extra dozen, made up a basket and raffled it off for charity.
This year I just organized the cookie basket raffle. People were great and baked and brought me a dozen cookies, a half dozen or a couple of dozen. Enough to make two very impressive baskets. I kicked in some personal contributions - a couple of nice trays (wicker serving trays), some cookie tins (not everyone packaged then so I took care of that (and another coworker helped out).
HR got wind of it this year (the first year for that) and gave me a table downstairs at the xmas party to "pimp" the basket. We go around and do serious collecting tomorrow!
So far we've raised over $150. Can't wait to see what the total is by friday.
