Not only is Silly Sock Day an excellent chance to reveal your favorite funny socks, it also helps raise awareness of Down syndrome. Let’s take a look at how Silly Sock Day works. On Crazy Sock Day, which is also referred to as Odd Socks Day or Silly Sock Dress Up Day, people all over the world don a matching pair of pink, oversized, hand-painted socks to support Down syndrome awareness. Since the colors are hand painted by volunteers from organizations such as the American Friends of Down Syndrome, the socks bear a smiling face with text reading “Support Down Syndrome” on them and are emblazoned with rainbow-colored ribbons.
If you’re interested in promoting a local organization with an interest in supporting Down syndrome children, you might want to consider hosting a “Silly Socks Giveaway.” A silly sock draw with prizes awarded to the top three winners will surely generate lots of local traffic and interest and can be a lot of fun for kids to participate in as well. Guests at your party can bring their own socks and decorate their own sock drawer with stickers and other items to decorate their own individual sock drawer. The event can be hosted by you or by a local organization with an interest in raising awareness about Down syndrome.
To make the most out of your crazy socks party, you’ll need to hire some professional sock fairies who can set up the tables, line up the displays and hang the fliers. Make sure to give the kids plenty of prize money so that they can draw and color their own socks to take home. Don’t forget to include a prize for the best decorated sock drawer! For a really authentic feel, play some music that your guests will love. If you’re still not sure about what to offer for prizes, why not offer them silly sock coupons for future events like silly sock drives?
