Did everyone raise at least $200? Just wondering because as of May 1 I had not planned on pushing it what with school and homework and all. I ended up raising $280 plus! I was asked in 14 e-mails if I was going to be at one of the places i have done the HWC thing for the past two years. So I asked on May 4th if the owner of the Wooden Goose in Mequon would mind. He said come on in! We sent in a $639 fundraiser with 32 pink items. Not to bad for two weeks of lea-way and a single poster on the wall outside the restaurant.
 
I had a nurse take a pink cake and some order information to her work. She ended up selling $207.75 for my HWC fund raiser. She did way more work than I had intended but it did work out pretty well. I gave her a couple little extras in her order. It would have been more but one person ordered online without getting to my HWC page, so it just went through as an individual order and another order, I somehow missed an item and didn't notice it until the order came. :(
 

Wow, that's amazing that you were able to raise $280 in just two weeks! It's great that you were able to get the support of the community and the owner of the Wooden Goose. It's always heartwarming to see people come together for a good cause. Congratulations on a successful fundraiser!
