One of my crew members doesn't contribute. I don't pressure him -- rather, I quietly contribute his share myself. I remember what it was like when my boss tried pressuring me to give to the United Way years ago. I didn't and it was uncomfortable.
Without the conversation of wearing pink, I doubt any of this happens. Next year I plan to take this association-wide (I'll pay for the whistles/lanyards from my association budget) and see how much money we can raise for the BCRF.

I know a few FB officials who wear pink. Most of the basketball officials do it locally, and we have a drive to donate. Before basketball games, we have the PA announcers explain why we're wearing pink (sometimes necessary as the shirts some folks wear just look like a bad day in the laundry). I change my shoe strings and use a pink whistle.
I haven't seen such a concerted drive in FB here locally, though. But it was my first season and I missed a couple of meetings.
