I’m so excited! I applied for a fundraiser at a local restaurant and it looks like it’s going to work out. I got a response asking for me to select the dates and provide the donation and mailing info. I hope it works out. My next project is getting donation letters out to friends and family in the from of email and snail mail. I am going to be very busy this weekend!

Brainstorm
Posted by Shades of Pink on November 9, 2007
I’ve decided to make a list of things I need to try in order to raise the appropriate funds for The 3 Day:
- Email everyone I know.
- Talk to restaurant managers about donation days.
- Ask local shops about having a donation table.
- Have a donation jar at work.
That’s all I can think of at the moment. Would love to hear more ideas!

Activity Low

I’m still not in full force fund raising mode just yet. I do think at some point I will take a donation jar to work and set it on my desk. People may be more inclined to give a little at a time instead of feeling pressured to make large donations. Still working out the game plan.

First Donation Dollars
Posted by Shades of Pink on November 2, 2007
I had a productive October in my Mary Kay business. As I stated I am donating 10% of my profits to The 3 Day. I sold about $500 in October. My profit was $250 and I am able to donate $25 to the cause. It’s not the $200 goal I had originally, but I will get there. I think this weekend I will talk to some of the local restaurants about fundraising. They do dining dollars or something at Max & Erma’s and TGIFriday’s and Applebee’s. I will be finding out how it all works and get those events scheduled. I’m going to raise the $2200 this year. I really want to walk. If I wind up raising more, I’ll recruit my husband and give him my excess donation money.
In addition to the fundraisers, I am going to get those emails out to my contacts. One friend has already asked me about donations. She actually asked if she was too late for 2007. I said no, but I was collecting for 2008. So, I believe I will begin to receive those donations soon. November’s a brand new month in Mary Kay, too. I have lots of appointments scheduled so I see more happening in that avenue as well. It’s going to get interesting, I think…
