Well, we did it! We hit the $2,000 mark! YAY! I can't believe it...I'm just hoping we can keep the momentum up for September.
The next big fundraiser we have planned is a 101 Days til Christmas Party. My goal for the party is to earn $500 in donations or an average of $100 per consultant. These consultants so kind and generous to donate a portion of their profit to Mike and myself!
Head Count: So far we have 12 ladies attending and 11 maybe's! I think we're off to a good start!
I've pasted the invite I sent out to all my Facebook friends last night and I wanted to share the event with my blog friends as well......
"I'm very excited about our upcoming IVF Fundraising Event! This fundraiser will be geared towards early Christmas shopping and will include consultants from Premier Designs Jewelry, Pampered Chef, Party-Lite, Mary Kay and Thrity-One.
Each consultant has graciously offered to donate a portion of their proceeds to our IVF Fund! This will be a great opportunity to beat the holiday crowds while enjoying a fun filled morning of fellowship and shopping.
We have set a goal of 50 guests and hope that we can exceed that number. Each guest who attends will receive a ticket to be entered into a drawing for special door prizes.
Door prizes will include free shipping on products purchased at the event, gift cards, free products and more!
To increase your odds of winning, a ticket will be given for each additional guest brought with you to the party!
Mike and I have been so touched by the outpouring of donations and support we have received thus far. We appreciate all of the kind wishes and prayers from our friends and family.
I look forward to seeing each and everyone of you. If you have prior plans or can not attend, we have catalogs available for pre-orders."
We've set an overall goal to work towards $2,000 in fundraising and donations for the month of September. Besides the 101 Day's til Christmas Party, we've got another yard sale in the works and my dad has also graciously donated a set of wheels and tires from his Jeep Wrangler for us to place on Craig's List and sell.
My mom and I will also resume Cookie Mania next weekend, which helped tremendously this month. I'm also trying to find some ideas online for items to sell related to our city's college football team. The first football game of the season begins this week and as a result of living in a college town people around here go crazy for anything UT related! Hopefully I can come up with something.
Well, I should get back to browing the web for ideas...chat again soon!
Amy ;)
