Our group fundraising event (PANKCAKE SUNDAY) raised $700, which will be dispersed amoung 8 of us. The event was a great learning experience for all of us. When there was a huge rush of people, supplies were dwindling, and the cafeteria was unwilling to give us additional meat, we had to think on the fly and make some decisions. We rose to the occasion and solved the challenging situation fairly quickly. ( I especially liked Kate/Amy's idea to have pancake toppings instead of more fruit! Genius idea!) Moreover, a helpful customer (who has had her fair share of fundraising experience) gave us some advice. She informed us that a brand of pancake mix at Costco gives a 50% rebate to people who are fundraising. She also said that speaking with the managers can sometimes be beneficial. Well it was! The manager at a local Sobey's donated 5 pancake batter! It helped keep our costs down and increase our profits! :D
A huge thanks goes to everyone who helped make the event possible and everyone who come out to the event/supported us.
Moreover, I have been informed that my uncle will be donating $200.00 towards my BB experience. :D
