Ice cream fundraiser for the family sponsorship.

      Me and my group members were very confused on where to start getting the money for our family sponsorship. Then we started discussing about fundraising and to sell something that everybody would buy, as the other group sold hot chocolate and cookies our group didn't want to steal their idea so we decided to sell ice cream sundaes even though it's cold outside there's no time not to have ice cream like everyone loves icecream. To advertise we did many things like make posters, announce in  the PA system and also I posted it on my every social networking site and luckily the outcome was greater than I thought it would be We didn't really have to face any difficulties for this idea because the ice cream was kept in the freezer in the PE office and the box of plates and spoons were also kept there. When it comes to selling the ice cream it was really crazy, busy and exciting because I didn't think a lot of people would actually come to buy because of the cold weather but happily a lot of people were buying and I was honestly so excited when I saw the huge line because inside I thought everything payed off. In the end we made $137.95 and that's amazing, we also made profit because I bought all the items and ice cream for $60-$70 and we made a really big profit. Also knowing that we made such a big effort to make this work we raised so much for our sponsored family, I'm so happy that we are sponsoring a family because I honestly love helping other people in need because if you think about it we all have ups and downs in our lifetime and in reality you should have a bigger heart and big money because what if I was in a family that needed help, like if our generation of children don't make a difference now who will, even if that means donating food for the food bank or even donating a small donation because in the end everything counts and if we all all make an effort we can make a huge difference in somebody else's life.
