Zhuzh It Up Day

Zhuzh It Up Day for United Way: The opposite of Casual Friday.

With so many folks now working from home, every day is casual day. Or, perhaps in our Zoom world, it’s a hybrid of business casual on the top, and comfy cozy on the bottom. Either way, casual Fridays have lost their meaning. Aren’t you craving a bit of a fashion challenge? As we begin to reconnect with colleagues and friends in ways that suit your workplace – whether in-person, hybrid, or virtual – let’s put the fun back in fundraising and take on this fashion challenge in support of United Way Halifax.

Zhuzh
/ʒʊʒ/

verb
to make (something) more lively and interesting, stylish, or appealing, as by a small change or addition (usually followed by the word ‘up’). In other words, make it fancy!
