The Fundraising Success of Forever 19-PMD

Congratulations to Ann Deluca and all the members of Forever 19-PMD on an incredible team effort!
We recently asked Ann to share the secret to her team's fundraising success, and we wanted to pass it along to our Overnight Community. Read how she did it below:
I started to earn money towards a working budget by selling individual candy bars and bags of nuts for $1.00 each in my break room at work and had other people selling candy in their break rooms. I printed out the Out of the darkness picture and attached it to a brown envelope to explain what the proceeds would go towards. I bought the candy at BJ's Or Costco. The profits for that went towards our working budget. A lot of candy was sold! Had a great team.
I asked a friend who teaches at a Vocational High School to make out the tickets for the event. That was a donation, great tickets.
