So we had the bake sale. Now, I went in pretty unsure what to expect. I knew there were 88 seats in the theatre and I planned to be there two nights. I decided to sit outside between Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance and Bob's Big Subs and Pub at lunchtime Friday and Saturday. I set a goal of $250 for the whole sha-bang.
Some really great people donated all kinds of tasty treats, many of which I put in my fair share of donations to taste. A bunch of awesome people stopped by to get their own baked goodness. I met so many generous people over two days and WSTA and Bob's were such great hosts. And thanks so much to y'all for the the support! So many people have been interested in the success of the bake sale and I'm happy to announce that we raised $283.32! That doubled is $566.64! All that for pediatric cancer research!
It's so crazy to think that this money that's going to help so many children came from sending a few emails and talking to some friends and sitting outside (in the most beautiful weekend weather) or at a theatre! So little effort and so much good done. If you were interested in hosting your own bake sale or are going to be a part of a holiday cookie exchange or have a couple of dollars to donate, check out Cookies for Kids' Cancer. They do wonderful work and are super helpful in planning. And now I can mark another event off of my list!
