Fundraising

Bree and I had a fundraiser at Chick - Fil - A in Murphy in August the week before school started. We were trying to get in before the schools start their spirit nights. We were both so tired after going back to work. It was still very hot and we both just wanted to go to bed. It turned out to be a fun night. We had great support from our staff members. Many of them hit the drive thru and dropped off their receipts and cash donations. Inside we had people spinning a wheel to win prizes. All of those proceeds went straight to us as cash donations. Bree had some former students come up and help with collecting donations. It was great to see some familiar faces and loving support. The pictures are somewhat of an indication what several months of fundraising will do to you.

Bree's mom has donated a case of her homemade red pepper jelly to us so we can sell it for donations. It is so good! They should sell pretty quickly. I know I plan on buying a few jars myself. Any proceeds from the pepper jelly plus what we made from Chick - Fil - A should put us at goal. We have 10 weeks left before the walk and we both hope to meet our goal of $2500.
