"Show Me the Money!"

Its been three weeks since I started this blog and I've raised $91 (9% of my goal). Not exactly where I thought I'd be at this point -- I didn't think it'd be that difficult to raise money, but I realized during these times people aren't as willing to part with their money unless they receive something in return. So this past weekend, a few close friends came over for dinner. I baked banana muffins and placed a sign next to them reading "Muffin? Help me fundraise for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society." From that night I raised $35!!


Since the muffins were a hit, I decided to do a bake sale. I haven't ironed out all the details, but it will be soon. Expect a post in a couple weeks with the details. If you have any special requests, please let me know!


Do you have any fundraising ideas to share?

  1. that's a great idea! if you have good veggie or vegan baked goods go to farmer's markets in really ritzy areas. There's one in studio city on sundays i believe where you'd be able to sell tons! one of my bosses did one there and raised thousands of dollars for obama's campaign. She had a lot of baked goods donated obviously, but you're doing this for a good cause so you might do great!
