Last week my team had their first fundraiser for the International Trip. We had books donated from the library and reserved a spot out on the student union patio during the busiest day of the week: Market Day. All of the books were organized by fiction, non-fiction etc as soon as the student heard us shouting "All Books are ONE DOLLAR", they flocked to the table. There was a steady stream of students throughout our four hours and we raised a good amount of money!I found it fun to do a fundraising event that aligned with the same social issue of our trip: Education and Literacy. Also, a book sale is rare on Market Day so we had a lot of people coming by just asking what we were all about, which gave us a great way to market Alternative Break Program and all that we have to offer.
My team is off to a great start and hopefully we will have many more successful events ahead of us!
