A couple of weeks ago I launched virtual sales for my son’s little leage baseball candy sales fundraiser. Donations of $1 would result in a donation of a candy bar to a local charity.
Zack picked the local food bank, an organization he’s worked with through Scouts a few times. He wanted to get the candy there for them to distribute to kids at Easter, but since the food bank is backed by a Catholic church, they were closed much of the time prior to Easter. The candy still went there, but it wasn’t distributed at Easter.
Overall, 84 candy bars were donated. 40 of those were from my readers and the rest from neighborhood parents in who wanted to support Little League, but didn’t want to keep the candy. Zack and I spent about 15 hours going door to door in the neighborhood and ended up selling 364 candy bars—seven whole boxes.
Those seven boxes turned out to be more than anyone else in the league sold. They gave him a prize of a five-pound bar of solid Hershy’s chocolate.
He wanted to donate that to the food bank as well, but we weren’t sure what they’d do with something that size. So he took it to baseball practice and shared it with all the kids there instead.
Wow....
