I have contributed to the Golden Girl organization in the way of funding in many ways mainly through the carwashes, as well as pancake/cowboy supper , and junior Golden Girls/ Winter Worskshop, these are wonderful opportunities that helps to interact with the Conroe community. The car wash is a fundraiser held during the summer prior to the start of the fall semester, it is a bonding time between the team to get to know the incoming girls as well as giving to the community by washing their cars at a good price, where all the money goes into our fund to lower the price of dues and other necessities. Communication grows during the fundraiser because we are motivated to work together as one to get things done everyone has a part to make the fundraiser a successful event. In my personal experience the fundraising events was very welcoming because the returning members give advice on the incoming year and how to prepare yourself for it. The feedback the organization gets is positive and the people that come always return the next year. Another fundraising event is the pancake/Cowboy supper, this fundraiser is the perfect description of what our community consists of which is pride, friendship, and unity. During the time of the …show more content…
It's lovely to see them grow through the years and how big of an impact this organization has for them it was very important to be the perfect Golden Girl they aspire to be, because they’re hopes and dreams are to become like us one day, we’re role models not only to them, but to the community as a whole. This organization is looked up to and it is an expectation to not slip up and to fit the standards of being a Golden Girl. The fundraiser event helped me to grow patience and to enjoy the growth of others as
Cosaundra and Robyn suggested to make each and every participant responsible for preselling a minimum of ten $20 vouchers. To guarantee 100% participation, we will incentivize with a $50 MacArthur Mall Gift Card to the member with the highest amount of vouchers $old. James Brumsey, Jr. has already agreed to sponsor a Krispy Kreme Doughnut Fundraiser. Cosaundra also wanted the young ladies to tap into their areas of expertise for other creative fundraising ideas/opportunities. The anniversary souvenir will be a commemorative purple ink pen with butterfly logo and R-E-A-D encrusted in white along with Brenda Johnson's chocolate butterflies. Another community connection will be with the Union Mission, feeding the homeless
In addition to the fair, our facility also provides utilization of the grounds for community functions on a year round basis. Some examples are the annual Fireworks Show, Run for the Wall, food drive during the fair (3,500 pounds of can goods collected), use of the parking lot for school bus driver training, use of the kitchen for our local 4-H groups to hold their annual BBQ fundraisers, Blue Grass Festival, FFA Awards Dinner, wedding receptions, the Palo Verde High School Homecoming dinner and the High School Prom. In the past six years the fair management has worked hard to raise money by applying for grants and establishing a nonprofit 501 (C)(3) foundation.
In my school, a girl named Shelby died fighting cancer. Our school did everything in their power to help her family, a family that had decided to raise money to help not only themselves but other families that are fighting cancer. They started selling bracelets, shirts, and other merchandise to raise money. “Fight like a girl,” this was their title. Everyone knew of Shelby and how strong she had been.
My mother has worked for Children’s Mercy for nine years, and it has been a huge blessing to hear about all of the wonderful things that Children’s Mercy does for our community. As a result of Children’s Mercy being a not for profit hospital, their funding must come from sources outside of their patients. One of the biggest fundraisers that Children’s Mercy conducts is called The Big
Our community has always played a major part in the athletic depart of our school. Every year they hold a pie auction, where pies can go for up to $700. A community tradition that is not associated with the school is the County Fair. It is always more of a social gathering than anything else. People will always asking “if you have been to get a greasy fair burger”.
The event helps to build community by people coming together in support of a local charitable organization that provides resources for people experiencing homelessness. The walk itself also provides a sense of community because groups of people
I volunteered at my local chapter for my senior year of high school. I got to work with the phenomenal staff at the chapter. I had the pleasure of meeting families who were very strong. This organization has a very favorable standing from my point of view. This is probably one of the best charities in the U.S. and around the world due to their timeless efforts to support families in need.
Of my many volunteer and paid extra-curricular activities, the most important to me is the National Art Honor Society, which extends artistic activities to my community. We organize two school events: the Festival of Trees and the Talent Competition. The Festival of Trees is an event when every school club can choose to donate and decorate a tree that we set up. All of the money raised goes to an organization of our choice. For the last 4 years, we have donated to Street Grace, which benefits the fight against human trafficking, especially in the Metro Atlanta area.
Boys and Girls Clubs Greater of Milwaukee impacted my life as a person on what I bring to the community such as passion and motivation towards mentoring and coaching young scholars. My first impact in my life for the Clubs was when I started working as an intern Youth Worker at Engleburg Elementary School. Becoming a Youth Worker impacted my life by helping students with life skills, academics, and most importantly what it's like to be a teenager and how my impact can make a difference in the city I was born and raised in and how other scholars can achieve and accomplish their goals. My club manager, Sarah Vogds, has impacted my life as a strong support system, making me someone who treats club staff, club managers and young academics with
Many school’s life skills programs from all over the area come to enjoy a day where they can be themselves and have fun. There is nothing more rewarding to me than to see these kids happy and to give them the chance to feel included. I have been incredibly blessed with all the opportunities the FFA has given me. The FFA takes students today and transforms them into leaders for tomorrow. Without the many opportunities that this program has given me, I would not be the person I am today.
I have had the unforgettable opportunity to personally raise $1,400 for kids to go to summer camp, whose families could not afford it otherwise. I have worked at food drives, homeless shelters, and kid’s programs in my town, in hopes to make someone’s day a little bit better and ultimately make my community stronger. These experiences shaped who I am today. While I cherish the experience I had making a difference in my own town, I am ready to grow and leave a positive impact somewhere else in the country.
The volunteers are similar to the volunteers I work with every day at City Year. Everyone comes from different states and different cultures, but we are all share the same purpose. That purpose is to bridge the gap in the education
Not only do these clubs recognize academic excellence, they also provide many opportunities for community service. Blood drives, food drives and Operation Christmas Child are only a few of the projects that we participate in throughout the year. I am

During the season, concessions at home matches and football games seem to be the popular ways of fundraising. Other ways are t-shirt sales, hosting tournaments, car washes on the teams day-off, and having a serve-a-thon. Boosters are there to support the athletic teams. Parents and family members are encouraged to get involved with the booster club to help fundraise and support the team with whatever the need is.
