We have made it to 45% of our target goal. We are creeping along but moving in a positive direction. For fundraising to be done effectively, 1. you have to believe in your product (which I do) 2. You have to be willing to follow up (which I do). There is a thin line between following up though… I have realized this isnt about me and never has been about me which is why I am determined to keep pushing forward until we reach our goal. The 15th of November is the half way point and that is tomorrow. The goal was to be at 50% by then. We are a little short of that but I am confident this will be a strong weekend as numerous friends and families have pledged to make a donation by this weekend.
We have noticed the various specials toy departments have, including a $10 gift card at Toys R Us with the purchase of $75. That would allow us to receive an additonal $660 to purchase additional items. Most programs also offer lay away plans to reduce the sting of holiday shopping. Well, keep posted on pictures of our shopping experience.
