Last weekend, my friend Finley, my sister and I did a Lemonade and Cookies stand. We planned that all money we made we would donate to the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Peninsula. I learned about the Boys and Girls Clubs from my Dad after he was a judge for the Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year Program. I thought that what they do is great and I decided with my friend that we would donate all of the money we made to them. Instead of charging a price for the Lemonade and Cookies, we said, "They are free, but we welcome donations. All donations will go to the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Peninsula." This program worked very well! Almost everyone gave us a donation. At the end of the afternoon, we counted our money and figured out we had made exactly $150.00!!!!!! We were so excited because our goal was to reach $100.00 and we exceeded it by $50.00!
This experience was really fun and I felt good afterward because I knew we had made a lot of money for a great charity.
Your Friend,
Lauren
