Holiday Fundraising Results
Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 10:16AM During the break we concluded the 2011 Bhaktivedanta Academy holiday fundraiser. We sold 369 tins of prasadam cookies and fudge and as a result collected $3,850! We are still tabulating all expenses but expect to raise about $2,650. We didn't get one of our large company orders this year, but came very close to last year's totals regardless.
Thank you to our community of parents, teachers, students, and supporters who all helped make this possible. In particular, I would like to acknowledge our army of volunteers who baked, packaged, and sold on behalf of Bhaktivedanta Academy:

Special thanks to Adi Gopi for helping with all aspects of the fundraiser and especially for scouring Gainesville for several weeks collecting all the tins we needed from any Dollar Tree should could find them. Although she was unable to personally participate this year, I also want to thank Padmaksi. She did such a great job documenting the entire production process that we were able to handle all the baking as if she was right there guiding us.
We didn't raise enough to cover the cost of the new Spanish curriculum program, so will look at some other fundraisers to help us purchase it. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how we might raise the $1000 needed to get started with this great program.
We wish you all a great new year!
