Today, the Senior Center partnered with St. Pauls Luthern School to have a walk-a-thon and raised money for the Senior Center. The students had people sponsor them during the walk, then they walked to a nearby park. Where we had a lunch set up for the, some Senior Center board members BBQ hot dogs, seniors citizens supplied donated bags of chips and baked cookies, and Open Door donated the hot dogs and buns. Sonic even donated their holders for hot dogs, which was really nice! I thought this was a great example of using your resources to have a simple and successful fundraiser. At the park, we had reserved 2 shelter houses, one to serve the food and the other for students to eat. A parent volunteer even brought over the students instruments and they preformed along with the choir after lunch.
I also finished my very first grant! I still need to add some documents and let my mentors read it first before I submit it. The grant is with the Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation and their web site is http://greenfdn.org/. One of my mentors, said she has wrote grants with them before and they are really nice people since she had meet them. The Green Foundation just happens to be located not far from us. My grant with them is to help fund GEDs and transprotation costs for the Salvation Army.
