Each year Loyalist College, a team of staff and students come together to develop a fundraising campaign for the United Way. This year, I am part of the team.
We came together and decided upon a goal of &12,000. In order to raise this amount of money, we planned on holding a number of different events on campus. Staff and faculty of the college can donate in a few different ways and students can participate in a variety of events.
One event, I have blogged about previously, Casino Loyale, was very successful and helped us out greatly on the campaign. Other than this, students as well as staff can participate in a book sale, the police run, and other exciting events.
On Friday November 6, we held a coffee and cookie sale on campus. We didn't set a specific goal because it was such a small event but I did set a personal goal of raising at least $200. We had several volunteers come out for the morning to help us sell. They were all fellow classmates from the Public Relations Program. It was great to have the help and support.
There were 3 tables set up within the college. One on the third floor, one in the cafeteria and one in front of the Shark Tank Pub. People were able to purchase a coffee and three cookies for just $2.00. The coffee was donated by Chartwells and the cookies from Club 213. Most of our customers were staff who were more than happy to show their support and students loved the delicious cookies.
At the end of the day we had raised $208.75 making the event a successful one. We will be holding the same event a few more times throughout the year. Thanks to everyone who came out to help or show their support!
