It's been really great getting to know my team over the past month with a social, two fundraisers and a volunteer event. In planning our first fundraiser, I was concerned with picking a date, securing in-kind donations and setting up the Go Fund Me account. Bogged down with all of the details in the beginning, I forgot how much fun spending time with my team and working towards a common goal would be!
Dunkin' Donuts donated four boxes of munchkins for the event, and we accepted donations for the donuts at the Free Speech Lawn. We had great participation in the event. Eight of us were there, and our faculty advisor stopped by to say hello. We all stepped out of our comfort zones in an effort to make a little extra cash for our team. The group came up with some pretty catchy slogans to encourage people to donate. Two of our favorites included "Help a munchkin, get a munchkin!"and "Donations are gluten free!"
The generosity of our patrons was very inspiring. A lot of students and faculty were really interested in the work we would be doing in Charleston this spring. Many of them had not yet heard of ABP or Volunteer UCF and expressed interest in getting involved in the future. Some of our friends and fellow ABP board members stopped by to donate and say hello. It's always great to see friendly faces when fundraising!
The event was successful as we raised $94 and made some memories along the way!
