I'm so excited! I got a prize to give away for my fund raising! I've posted on Facebook a couple of times about my fund raising, but only one cousin has donated so far. I was super excited when I got my first donation, but I haven't gotten any prizes yet.
Today I sent an email at work asking if they would donate Red Sox tickets that I can add to the prizes. I'm waiting on that answer. I also sent a similiar email to Friendly's restaurant if they would donate a gift certificate. I am going to go face to face to some area businesses asking for the same thing as well.
Then I had a brief moment of brilliance. I posted on facebook asking if people wanted to promote their businesses by donating towards my prizes. All donations and names will be listed on my blog and my fund raising page, so here's a way that they could get their word out as well.
Within 10 minutes, someone from high school emailed me! She is an independent sales consultant for Beigo Bags and is donating a $95 handbag for me have a prize! How amazing is that??? I am SO excited! I am going to post all of her information on both webpages so she gets credit for the donation and maybe could get a sale for it.
I'm just so excited. I know this is going to come together. Just LOTS AND LOTS of work. Between collecting prizes to give away, doing all of the fund raising, and my training... I'm going to be completely exhausted! Plus toss in a full time job! Ahh... I'm tired just thinking of all I have to do! :) But by breaking it down I can do it.
I like that I'm only focused on the prizes right now. If I start with that, then work on the actual fund raising. So only prizes! :) I have to make sure I call my uncle tomorrow to see if he can help me out too... plus my cousin.
Weird, cuz the donation today... she's one of the last people I would have ever expected a donation from. Guess people can surprise you!
