Our first Fundraiser! Woo Hoo!

Our first fundraiser was a complete success! At half time of the boys varsity game against Chewelah, we gave the fans an opportunity to get involved with Mocha Club. For one dollar a piece, the crowd was able to show off their basketball skills for a shot at a 2 liter bottle of soda. We had multiple half court shots get made which was exiting to watch in itself but what was really exiting was to see the support of the crowd.

Not only did our hometown Panther fans get involved but almost half of the shots that were taken were from Chewelah! Even the moms of the players were getting into it, and trust me that was entertaining to watch! It was wonderful to see that it did not matter where the fans were from, but they were just happy to help out a good cause (and have some fun in the process.)

We made over 70 dollars in one night! That means that with the money we have from just that one fundraiser we were able to give 70 Africans water for an entire year. Of course the crowd enjoyed their soda pop, but when it was announced how much they had done to help, they were even more exited. We are looking forward to being able to do even more exiting fundraisers in the future, and even more so, we are looking forward to seeing how much we can do for the continent of Africa!

God Bless...
