Ending Guedel's Project: From my last blog post, I talked about how we hoped profits would reach around $200. I was wrong, however, as we received over $350 for Riley Children's Hospital! We were very surprised with how much we got, and were very gracious to Mr. Guedel for letting us team up with him. A fellow NPBidder and I had to pick up all the orders from Mr. Guedel's work. It was our job to handout these orders. We did it during and after school until around 3:30, and then we went to the elementary schools to drop off orders to teachers and staff there. This partnership ended up being a huge success, and we are planning on doing something similar again in the future. Here are our final results from the partnership: Getting Grants: Since the Guedel partnership has ended, we have been reaching out to organizations for grants. Recently, we reached out to Meijer in hopes of a donations. We had to write a donation request letter, along with other information, and send it to the corporate office at Meijer. We asked for $100-400, in hopes they will be able to donate something to us. Below is a picture of us handing in the grant at Meijer. What is next: We have a lot of work to do for the future. We are going to keep contacting businesses and organizations in hopes of donations. We also are going to set up the website very soon. After the website is set up, we think the project won't feel as busy, but we will still always have work to do.
