Friday night we had our big event! We set up the tables and it all looked perfect. We got plenty of decorations and had all of our raffle baskets set up. We ended up with 7 baskets and had many tickets in each of them. We also had a jug for any generous donations! After counting it all up we ended up with $10,000!! Due to an amazing anonymous donor we got a dollar to dollar match. The raffles were a huge success and gave us a lot of our money as-well as the entire student section wanting shirts! It was a lot of fun and everyone was impressed with how well we did. We had consistent raffle buyers and many people hoping to win a basket. At the end of the 3rd quarter we announced our winners and they were all so excited. We had great baskets created by great people. We gained so much experience from this and can't believe how well we did. It was so much fun seeing everyone purchase shirts and baskets or even giving just a donation. I hope to do something similar again. It is amazing to help out an organization that could use it. The Hope Center's rent a month is $10,000, so being able to cover that gives them opportunities to buy other things for their organization. Once again, I am extremely proud of how well we did and hope to help out in other areas that I can!
