How Do You Have a $1200.00 Bake Sale!?!?!?!?!?!?



How do you have a $1200.00 Bake Sale??? Well first, you take 50 hard-working Club Hope members who baked and put together some of the BEST BAKE SALE food ever!!! Then you take lots and lots of loving moms, dads, and grandparents who bought the ingredients and helped with the making and baking (I know that Ms. Crossley has accused us of running some sort of Ponzi scheme - with having you buy the ingredients, make the baked goods, then pay money to buy them back - but it is all for a good cause!!). Then you take a supportive school environment where EVERYONE showed up with money. Finish that off with EXCELLENT selling skills by all salespersons involved!! We actually made $650.00 on the Bake Sale (thank you to our front office discussion group for suggesting that the coins be taken to the bank to be counted, they did it in about 60 seconds and the total was $106.00!!). Top that off with some amazing people who donated and offered to match our efforts. Special thanks go out to Oklahoma Gold Gymnastics, The Litz Corporation, the Frimberger Family (THANK YOU Carley, Cassidy, and Niklas for getting those donations!!), and one very generous anonymous patron who all together gave us $550.00. A big thank you to Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Rochford, who made announcements for us and helped with the money. All the money will be sent to our O Ambassadors partner in Kenya - "Kids Can Free the Children". Congratulations Club Hope/ O Ambassadors members - you were awesome today!!!
