The Timberland Serv-a-palooza Challenge is a first-of-its-kind sponsored volunteerism competition, launched in partnership with CrowdRise. The six-week Challenge encourages individuals to volunteer for a cause of their choice for chances to win amazing prizes for themselves, as well as big donations for the non-profit organizations they choose to support.
For 17 years, Timberland has celebrated its longstanding commitment to volunteerism through the brand’s signature Serv-a-palooza event; and this April the brand surpassed the one million hours served milestone. Now, Timberland is ready to get started on its next million hours, and scale its impact by calling on you to get out and volunteer, too!
Through the Timberland Serv-a-palooza Challenge, anyone wishing to volunteer can sign-up to earn rewards for the hours they serve, donors they recruit, and money they raise.
Here’s how it works:
Sign up – and pledge your hours to your chosen cause – to be included in the competition. Once you’re approved*, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to set up your unique fundraising page – where you can track your volunteer hours, your impact (number of donors) and monetary donations.
* Please note, in order to be approved, your selected cause must:
Be a 501(c)3 charitable organization registered by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code
Be in good standing under all applicable federal and state laws
Be non-discriminatory by race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, or national origin
Serve others beyond its own members (Challenge is not open to fraternal organizations, pageants, labor organizations or religious groups that only provide services to persons who are members (or relatives) of that particular group)
Be un-affiliated with political parties, political candidates, lobbyist activities, political publications or political advertising
Everything launches on Monday, August 11th at 12:00pm ET and runs through Thursday, September 18th at 11:59:59am ET.
