In total we didn't raise as much money as we wished we would have raised. However the manager was kind enough to give us $250 to put towards the price of the senior gift to Sturgis. One main thing that I could have changed was the way that I publicized this event. I found it more difficult than I thought it was going to be and eventually found out that making fliers, sending emails to friends and family, sending emails to all of the seniors to help out, and posting the information around the school was not enough. The idea of this fundraiser was a good idea and it was also a fun way to get a lot of the students at Sturgis to spend some time together and at the same time support the fundraiser. I also realized that this is something that I probably wouldn't want to keep on planning and initiating things for. In all however, we did manage to raise some money with the 3 days that we had to do the fundraiser and the support that we got.
