It gives me great pleasure to announce that Troop 1292 has OFFICIALLY met the Spread the Love fundraising goal of $15,000! I must admit, when we first started this journey, funding was my biggest worry. I had no doubt we could find a cause or that the girls could do the work. But raising 15k? Let's just say that is not where my skill set lies! :)
The old addage "ask and you shall receive"comes to mind as I write this. In actuality, it was a case of "ask, plan, stress a little bit, work really hard, bring in some HIGHLY talented people to help, plan some more, stress a little more, work harder, have fun, say a few prayers, and then you will receive!"
We are so thankful for everyone's support. With your help we raised funds through a family and friends campaign, three dine to donate opportunities, a Fabulous Friday Night babysitting night, a Friday Night at the Movies event, a Victorian Tea for younger scouts and their friends, and of course...cookies!!!
Troop 1292 sold 1548 boxes of cookies this year! The end result is close to $1000 for the Pack the Pantry project at the Ketto School. We are so excited about all the little bellies this money is going to allow us to feed!
If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one is worth a thousand thank yous!!!
