Legality of Asking Employees For Gift Money

I’ve seen a few posts today about employers wakings employees to pitch in for Xmas money. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas and the spirit of giving. Would love to do a secret Santa or something, but instead… I just have my General Manager and Upper Manager both asking me (along with everyone else in our company) to donate $10 to $25 that will go towards getting our company owner a gift. I have seen others saying to forward the email or notice to HR, but in this case, HR is also onboard with the idea, and backing management. Do I legally have to give money over and how would you word it to avoid any indirect repercussions or changes in attitude moving forward.
