Making An Event!

      My project is still in progress, but I'm close to having the first fundraising event set up! I learned that a lot of thought and preparation goes into setting up an event. A few days ago I contacted the manager for Chick-Fil-A. He was so helpful and he gave me the information on the fundraisers they do and the contact information for their marketing team. I got into contact with Meaghan and CJ, members from the team who coordinate and help set up fundraisers. Basically, Chick-Fil-A has something called a Spirit Night. They help fundraisers and at the end of the event a certain amount of profit is given to the organizers. Of course all of the money we raise is going directly towards our project. We were given a form to fill out that asked basic information about our event and I'll be turning it in this Friday which is the same time I'll meet with them to discuss all aspects of our organization and what we plan to do. I've been thinking about how I'll advertise this event and get people to go! However, my priority is getting my fundraiser approved and how I'll convince Meaghan and CJ that my partner, Wendy and I are really dedicated to this cause. I know that clean water is taken for granted in many places while other places struggle with disease and death caused by unfiltered water. I know that this event will be the day of a meet so that after I can bring our swim team because we usually all go out to eat after our meets. Before this event happens I'll start working on the chocolate fundraiser, which is the next step in our final goal of raising $500. I'm really hoping this event gets approved and by the nest blog post I'll have a date and time for this event!
