Week 17 FUNdraising Friday Update

This week has been KRAZY!! With all the last minute Mother's Day gifts being ordered, I was busy all week making sure all of them were finished and ready for pickup today or tomorrow! I succeeded! I so enjoyed making these specials gifts for those special women in your lives. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this year's Mother's Day gift! I hope she enjoys it!

This was another BIG week. We were able to deposit $1257! That's one of the highest amounts so far! Thank you! We are getting to our goal quickly and that is exciting! 

Here's the week 17 breakdown:

Puzzle fundraiser: $4182.59 (859 pieces SOLD - 141 pieces unnamed...please help us name them all!) We are so close to finishing this puzzle! I can't wait to start putting it together! 

Krafts by Katie: $6825.96

Jewelry Fundraiser: $266.92 (after auction)

CoupAide (gift certificates) Fundraiser: $520 We currently have 52 buyers! Can you take advantage of this great deal? You pay $20 for $50 restaurant gift certificate. Awesome WIN for both of us!

GRAND TOTAL: $11,795.47.............OVER 50% OF GOAL IS MET!!!!!!!!!!

We have now crested over the 50% mark and are at 53.6% of the goal! What a relief! Last week was huge because we got to the 5 digit number mark...but this week is even better! Now we can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel concerning our fundraising efforts!

Speaking of fundraising, remember that new fundraiser I mentioned? Well, it's official and I can finally tell you a little about it! We are partnering with a new restaurant opening up on the westside of town called Paul's Wood-Fired Burgers! They will be cooking burgers, hotdogs, and chicken plates for us on June 14th and the proceeds go to our adoption fund! We will also be having a silent auction, fun blow ups for the kids, 50/50 raffle, and other fun things to keep you there having a great time! For more info, visit our facebook event page and RSVP that you're coming! It's going to be so much fun!

Another fun thing I was asked to do the other day by a good friend was to set up a table at the Hangar for an event happening this coming Thursday. This event is a ticketed event only AND unfortunately all the tickets are gone:( Here's the details though:

All area tween and teen girls and moms are invited to this special evening event featuring our special guest, Kylie Bisutti, author of I'm No Angel (her new release from Tyndale House Publishing releases on 5/14/13). As part of her national launch tour, Kylie will be visiting Spartanburg, SC and sharing the testimony of how she walked away from her childhood dream of being a Victoria's Secretmodel. Young ladies and moms alike will be challenged by her behind-the-scenes look at the fashion world, as well as her down-to-earth thoughts and suggestions on how to dress fashionably, yet modestly; and what really makes a young woman "beautiful." Ali Rogers (reigning Miss South Carolina and first runner-up to Miss America this year) will be our guest host for the evening! Additionally, the evening includes a fashion show, fashion exhibits and great door prizes!

I think it's going to be fantastic! I'm going to be the only vendor there selling the kind of stuff I sell, so I'm hoping people will LOVE my krafts and ORDER!! 

Thanks again for another awesome week! I look forward to posting about a great week next week too!!

XOXO,

Katie
