Hero's Hero

An extremely exciting past two days for Hero's Hero! Yesterday we took all of the carnations that were donated to us (over 100) and all of the Hershey Kiss Roses that we made (over 300). down to Evansville Elementary for our first fundraiser. We did a good job! we made about $40.00. Yeah it may not have been a lot, but for only 1 week of announcement time, we did pretty good our first year! We hope to make it back next year for a bigger profit!

Today we set our table up at the Smith's grocery store, planning to stay there for 3 hours. we still had about 200 Hershey Kiss roses too many carnations to count. In the first hour we sold all of our Hershey Kiss roses. in the Second hour we sold all of our carnations that we had. We brought home a profit of $350.00 total! An amazing first fundraiser for Hero's Hero!

2nd meeting of Hero's Hero was held today.

Topics addressed: Care Package preparation
January Donation Drive
January Fundraiser ideas
Topic 1:
We are wanting to send at least 3 care packages at the end of January. In order to do that we are going to need at least $54.00 to ship the packages. We will also need to fill the boxes with something!
Our plan: We want to have a donation drive, and a backward shirt day at school to raise the funds to ship all of the packages!

Topic 2:
We spent the day talking about what kind of donation we wanted to do, and settled on a homeroom (Mirp) Donation Drive Contest. We will have a list of donations that we are looking for posted on a box that will be placed in each classroom. The drive will last for 1 week, and we want to have a classroom prize for the classroom that donates the most items.
Winning Classroom will receive and pop and candy party!

Topic 3:
We thought about a various different fundraisers and settled on a backward shirt day. We talked about having each person donate at least $1.00 to wear their shirt backward, for every dollar they donate they will be entered to win 1 of 4 prizes.
Grand Prize: 12 pack of pop of their choice and $5.00
First Place: $5.00
Second Place: 1 Free Large Blizzard from Dairy Queen
Third Place: box of popcorn and 2 liter bottle of pop.

We also talked about getting some of the prize items donated so that we would have a 100% profit.

This is the last meeting that we will have until next year! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas! Whether you are home or away, may you find the Christmas Spirit inside you this year! From all of us at Hero's Hero
