Several months ago, Wildlife and co. sent in $999 to the WWF to help support endangered species.
We were not allowed to send $1000 because the mailing system couldn't do it. How ODD.

Wildlife and co. has around $217 towards our goal of $999 this year(if it's as much as we can send, so be it). And though we have not done much, we will soon be very busy(I hope).
I have an idea to help you fund-raise - you've probably already thought of this... but idk - I thought it was maybe worth putting it out there. You'd hire a hall for Halloween, and put a big table somewhere in the room, and another table elsewhere in the room. One of the tables should be covered with finger food, and a CD player should be nearby too - blasting some music of any type you like. The other table would have a banner hanging over it with DONATIONS WELCOMED scribbled on it. There would be an area where people could donate old unwanted items (so you can sell them at a car-boot sale later), a loose-change area with a lot of trays so people can put their unwanted loose change there. (Every penny counts.) A cheque/notes area - a shoe box with a hole the right size to put an envelope in with be here. People would put their money in here. Guests would be asked to bring in unwanted loose change, unwanted items, and cheques/notes too. Entry would be a dollar for a child and two dollars for an adult. (I made that up, you can change it to what ever's acceptable.)
ReplyDeleteYou could also ask for money towards WWF instead of birthday presents on your birthday too.
You could put "post-boxes" in local schools asking for money towards WWF. This could be loose change or notes/cheques. I'm sure local schools would be happy to co-operate to such a good cause and would promote it too.
As I said, you've probably thought of stuff like this before. Sorry if I make no sense what-so-ever. I apologize if these are stupid unworkable ideas too. I'm going to do something like the first idea on my birthday (hopefully.) You could do the same type of thing on your birthday/ Christmas/Christmas Eve/New Year's Day/Thanksgiving.
Aaanyway - thanks for reading my rambling xoxo
Great idea! We are in the process of planning a Halloween party as I speak.
