Gift bags are a great way to show support for Wily Scholars and provide a small bag of treats as a takeaway at a Wily event. This is a terrific hands-on volunteer opportunity for corporations, organizations, and other large groups to get involved.
Gift bags are given out at the three major Wily Scholar events:
September – Fall Community Day
October – Career Fair
April – Spring Community Day
How many gift bags do we create?
Wily provides a gift bag for every Scholar and some extras, which would mean we would need 100 gift bags created for each event.
What's the difference between a gift bag and a care package?
Gift bags are smaller than care packages and contain fewer items. The gift bags are given to every Scholar at Wily events throughout the year while care packages are given to Scholars as a pick me up during exams, etc. four times/year.
What does a gift bag look like?
They are small either reusable bags (12” X 4.5”) or paper bags filled with small personal items, snacks, and a gift card. If you use paper bags we suggest decorating the outside as a fun and creative activity!
What is the cost per gift bag?
Gift bags range from $20-25 per bag. This includes a gift card and other items.
Will my organization be recognized for this in-kind donation?
At each event, there is a sign thanking and recognizing the group that created the gift bags for that specific event. We then post a picture of the bags on our social media! Your organization will also be listed on our website and in our annual report.
When are gift bags distributed throughout the year?
