Trying to get Grants: Recently, we have tried to receive more grants from large companies. We reached out to Build-A-Bear for a request of about 20 bears. We were hoping to get these bears so that we could give them to the kids at Riley when we deliver the check to them. We were disappointed, but we knew that it was a reach. We also requested a grant from Kroger, but yet again, we were denied a grant request. We are still trying to get more grants and donations from large companies. Also, we have requested a grant from Target. We went to the store ourselves and handed in all of the paperwork. We haven't heard back yet, but hopefully we will receive good news. NPBid's impact: Our previous partnership with Guedel Apparel ended, but we have seen our hard work being represented in our community. Recently, our football team went to the state title game for 5A. We saw our gear that we sold on many fans throughout the stadium. On the intro video, we saw our head coach, Kyle Ralph, was wearing our shirts. It was really cool to see our project impact and represent our community so well. What's Next: Our project has hit a bit of a hard spot, where we don't have much to do. We are waiting until after Christmas to make the website, so we are still asking for grants. In the mean time, we are starting a new project, called the BreakoutBox. This is a game for elementary kids where they can learn clues in order to unlock locks and boxes, so that at the end they unlock a box to win a prize. It is a fun game for the kids because it is very educational, teaches teamwork, and it just fun for them to play. We aren't sure when we are going to start that project, but we know we are going to start it soon.
