Bake Sale Encore!

Wow! Thank you to those of you who participated in today's bake sale. Not only did we sell all the goodies but some of my wonderful co-workers also made monetary donations to Hope for McKenna. We netted $151 today! To make the day even better, I have requests for more cookies.  I spent the evening making 8 dozen cookies to take to the office tomorrow.  I made Chocolate Chunk Pecan Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Reese's Chewy Chocolate Cookies for tomorrows bake sale. Only downfall was that the plastic Christmas containers are smaller than the 1st round so I could  only fit 8 to 12 cookies in each depending on the size of the cookies. I did make some cute “thank you” labels for each container. We have the potential of making about $80 so wish us luck.  I think it should go well because while I was baking, my friend, Beth called and her husband insisted she buy the Chocolate Chunk Pecan Cookies right then and there.  I hope the rest of the items sell this well tomorrow.

If you know of any great fundraising ideas, please send them our way.  It is so easy to just ask, ask, ask but it is more fulfilling to give something heartfelt in return for the donations.

Thank you again to all that support Hope for McKenna.  Hopefully, in the near future, we can spread the kindness our family and friends have shown us to another family in need. 

Thanks,

Bake Sale Fundraiser

Tomorrow, December 22nd, we will be holding a bake sale fundraiser at my office to help raise additional funds for Hope for McKenna.

I will be selling and/or raffling off three tubs of Chocolate Chunk & Pecan Cookies (18 count)  as well as three take-out boxes  of the Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies (6 count). I made them all tonight with Nestle brand chocolate chips.  I also have a tree-shaped, glass candy canister filled with various Christmas candy such as Snickers, Whoppers, Chocolate Crisps, Hershey’s chocolates and cherry cordial Hershey’s kisses.  I also have a coffee mug filled with Hershey’s candy and some chocolate angels. I am trying to decide what will be sold and what will be raffled off. The only thing I forgot was to buy raffle tickets. I am sure I’ll make do.

 

Thank you for all your support during our efforts to raise money for McKenna.  Our goal is to help alleviate the financial burden that her 6 surgeries in the past two years have created.  Any money  that we raise above and beyond her medical expenses will be donated to a cleft palate association chosen by the Conrad family. 

Thank you again for your support and if you have the opportunity, please participate in the fundraiser tomorrow in Mt. Laurel.
