What a difference a day makes.
So, I was lamenting my fundraising woes yesterday and within a few hours, was feeling more optimistic about my ability to make it to my goal of raising $3,200 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and since I last posted, I have earned 5% more toward my goal. Woo hoo! I have one Ms. Kris Jones to thank for that!
Once she saw that I was having trouble finding customers for my Cupcakes for Cancer idea, she promptly messaged me on Facebook to I should call her the following day.
So I emailed her today around 2 p.m. to find out if it was a good time to call. The response I received informed me that everyone was expecting cupcakes since breakfast and to hurry up and bring some because the natives were getting restless! Quickly, I whipped up a batch of chocolate and scooted out the door bearing red velvet and chocolate chocolate cupcakes to Warner Bros.
All in all, I took in $170 in donations—both on and offline—as a result of Kris’ efforts—and have orders to return tomorrow. The tide is turning! I can’t thank Kris and her lovely co-workers enough for their generosity and healthy appetites. The only way I can think of to express my appreciation is to come back tomorrow…and hopefully a few more times after that.
STATUS: $600 out of $3,200 raised by December 30, 2009.
