Second week


As our spreading awareness project continues, we run into problems. Our class works well together but sometimes we split off into groups and don't communicate as a whole. This has a negative impact on us and ends up being a mess. One problem that arose while doing this project was the spreading awareness, we planned on having posters and signs up a few days ago, then the fundraising group would begin to collect money. Since the posters were late on getting done the fundraising group started to raise money without people knowing what they were donating too. This set us back on fundraising money because most people didn't want to give money to an unknown cause. We overcame this by explaining to people what our cause was and what Erin's Dream was. I worked with Rachel on Monday February 6th to raise money at seventh lunch. So far we raised six dollars in just one day. We hope to raise more money throughout the week to meet our goal of fifty dollars per week. With all of the fundraising people working together this goal will be well over accomplished. My class mates thought of a great idea of making shirts(with the cause of Erin's Dream on them) and selling them to others for money, the shirts are around seven dollars and we would sell them for about ten giving us a three dollar profit to donate to Erin's Dream. I think that this is a great idea and will help us reach our goal even faster while spreading awareness rapidly. Our goal for next week is to figure out how much of each size shirts we need and to continue to collect money while handing out posters to spread awareness of grieving families who lost children to childhood cancer.
