9 Ditch Day Hacks: The Excuses You Need To Take Time Off

We’re guessing you’re a bit like us – overworked, too many chores and not enough hours in the day to spend time with the ones you love.

To give you some help, Ink Foundry developed a Facebook application with 9 excuses to hack your way to a day off from work, taking out the trash, dishes, laundry, even a hack to ditch social media.

We didn’t just do it for us, we worked with Festival of Children Foundation to help them promote the third annual National Child Awareness Month. Their goal, and we hope you’ll join us, is to help adults understand how important it is to spend quality time with a child.

You can check out the 9 hacks for taking a vacation day on the Ditch For Kids application here. The Facebook application asks you to pick your hack and generates an “excuse” letter for parents and other adults to send to their boss, lawnmower, Farmville, dirty laundry and more.

The letter will be available through out the month of September on the Foundation’s Facebook page.

The Ditch Day Application is available free of charge to any of the 400 Festival of Children Foundation member charities.

THE FINE PRINT
The Ditch For Kids Facebook application is part of a larger on and offline marketing communications program created by Ink Foundry and the Foundation team to celebrate National Child Awareness Month.

Overall, National Child Awareness Month is an effort to raise the visibility of children’s needs in a way that will be entertaining for parents, grandparents and other adults in a cost effective manner. The ultimate goal of the Ditch For Kids program is to inspire adults to take time away from an everyday chore to spend an afternoon with a child. Easy. Now go check out the Ditch For Kids Facebook application so you can do something fun.
