Fundraising! It was kind of Fun! My family and friends were a great support. I learned to organize events and volunteers to make these events successful. I applied for scholarships, and earned one! I made brochures to hand out to people and business about the program and why their donation will help me out. I have researched companies to see who has ties to Panama and written letters to these corporations asking for donations. I have solicited local businesses by call them or going to their business and explaining my cause and asking for donations. With all of this hard work, I have earned over 4 thousand dollars. My friends and family have been a big help. They have been there 100% of the time to support me and help me in my fundraising. So far we have held squeegee's, which is when we stand in the drivethu line of a fast food restaurant and ask people if they would like to donate and in exchange we would wash their windshield for them. this was our most successful fundraiser yet! I have also been doing car washes, grass cutting, babysitting, and a one week mini day camp. And I'd like to give a special thanks to AutoZone, McDonalds, and Burger King for letting me hold fundraisers there.
