How To: Blue Buckets
How can you get involved in your area?
1) Share the url www.bluebuckets.org for a list of 501c3 organizations that we know support our community.
2) Are you a 501c3 non profit org? Host a show/event in your city for your charity and let us know it’s part of the #bluebuckets4jose, so we can help publicize it for you. During the event take a moment to honor Jose, by mentioning her great works encourage people to learn more about her.
3) Are you an Imperial Court recognized as a member of the ICS? Collect donations for your favorite local charity in a blue bucket. Ringing a bell is optional. Feel free to dress festively and let people know who donate about not only the charity you selected, but also about who Jose was. Contact us for more information and suggestions.
Feel free to contact us at email for more information and to let us know about your events or “bell ringers” for Jose.
