Don't Pay
If you are being asked for a lot of money don't give.
You can just keep forgetting to bring it in.
If the office manager keeps asking for it let her know that you can't afford it. Let her know privately. Say you would prefer that you all go in on a cake or something much more affordable.
You might also let her know that you think the owner might be embarassed to accept such a costly gift from his/her employees.
Let the office manager get stuck with your share of the the cost. Chances are other employees will keep forgetting. Anyways she will learn a valuable lesson.
