Successes and Setbacks

Successes and Setbacks

I am currently doing two different fundraisers for Smile Train. One is the hearts fundraiser that I have previously talked about (in my previous post). Another fundraiser is a tie-dye party that I am planning to take place on Saturday, February 22nd from 1-4 pm at a local community center. So far the hearts fundraiser has gone amazingly well. In about 3 weeks of selling I have sold over 30 hearts and raised over $300! This is amazing and I am so thankful for the heartist in California (Hillel Rzepka) who has partnered with me on this project. If anyone is interested in a heart please feel free to contact me, my email will be at the bottom of this post. The tie-dye party has been a bit more difficult to plan because not everyone has been responding (by RSVP) which has made it hard to plan accordingly because I am unsure of how many materials that I need to buy. Although that part has been challenging, I am still looking forward to the event and to see the ultimate success. I plan on having a heart table to sell the glass blown hearts as well as a donation box. I hope that these will be quick and easy ways to raise even more money! After the tie-dye party, I will make another blog post describing the event and the ultimate outcome.
