We hosted a BBQ fundraiser attended by 40 friends and family to generate some more money for Bicycles for Humanity. Ada and her sisters (note Luke's lack of cooking-related involvement) cooked up an absolute storm: besides the meaty BBQ obvious, there were salads, breads, dips and snacks to boot. We had a dirt-cheap smorgasboard of home-baked goodies, and raffled off some incredible donated gifts and any leftover said goodies. For a mere $10 entry, one recieved a raffle ticket or two and could feat til their hearts content. The raffle was drawn towards the end of the BBQ, with major prizes donated by Knogg, Paint my Picture, and VA Glass gallery
All in all the fundraising cost us approximately $250, and we raised about $600!! So an extra $350 into the kitty for Bicycles For Humanity. Great job!
Many thanks to Melanie Poole, Angie Conron, Emma Fulgenzi, Betty Martin, Marlene Martin, Valarie Hodgson and Amy Blazewski for their extra special efforts pre, during and post the event!
The day itself and the organization and planning required was surprisngly draining. It made us realise just how hard fundraising is. Not to be discouraged however! Good onya to all involved
