We started a college wide"Kiss the Pig" contest last year and it worked really well. We let it run for two weeks. First we asked professors to volunteer to be kissed. We posted notices around campus, on our website, and sent a college wide e-mail. Each member announced it in classes. We collected money during class and kept a jar in each department office. The students and staff could contribute in the office. We had notes availiable for them to fill out showing how much $ and who they wanted it to go toward. We kept udates on $ on our web page. We had the kissing during our annual "Dogs with the Dean" which is held during our "Land Grant Days". In two weeks we raised approximately $300.00 and it did not take much work at all. Everyone enjoyed it. Next year more professors have already said they would like to participate. We are getting our tax deductable information together too (a lot of professors pay on others so they don't have to kiss the pig). We are probably going to string it out to 3 or 4 weeks. Just a thought.
