Applebee's Breakfast Fundraiser is a Giant Success

 This morning we held our pancake breakfast fundraiser. We had 174 people come for breakfast. The restaurant was very busy for a while. Thank you to all the volunteers that helped.

174 tickets sold!
$522 + $148 in tips = $670!

I have now raised $3860 toward my trip!

One Generous Donation!

My mom's friend Michelle donated her coin jar. It yielded $174.12 plus three wheat pennies and one silver dime! Thanks Michelle!

With this and the most recent Applebee's ticket sales, I am now at $3,180 total raised, which is just over 45% of my goal!

Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser

                           

My big winter fundraiser is going to be a pancake breakfast at Applebee's on Saturday, March 1st from 8 to 10 am. Pancake breakfast for $5. I am hoping to sell about 300 tickets for this event. In order to meet my goal, I need LOTS of help.

How you can help me:

• I need volunteers to greet, seat, serve and bus. Applebee's provides the rest. I need 12 volunteers to help in this way. Most volunteers need to be at least 16 years old in order to serve food, but some can be younger. Please contact my mom and dad if you want to help in this way.
• I need lots of help with advertising and selling tickets. Please tell your friends! You can also share or promote this blog post on your Facebook page. See below for instructions on how to do this.
• Come for breakfast! You can contact my parents or comment below to reserve your tickets (see instructions).
