THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

Hi There! We are only a few short days away from leaving Orlando to travel half way across the world to Ukraine! I am sure that I can speak for all of us going on the trip in that we are all SO EXCITED that the trip is finally around the corner!


Over the past few months we have been working diligently to raise funds and goods to bring over to Ukraine. We started our "Change for Ukraine" campaign with a car wash at a local Walgreens where in a few short hours we were able to raise $100!

Next after our successful car wash came our 2 large fundraising events! Thanks to Scott and the rest of the fundraising committee, we were able to rent out a local bar, Dungeon and host a party in which all the proceeds would go straight to "Change for Ukraine!" Jon (aka D.J Whiteface) played awesome music all night long while all of our friends came out to support "Change for Ukraine" and have a good time!


The next night we held a fundraising event at Buffalo Wild Wings in Waterford Lakes. BWW was kind enough to donate 20% of their profit from that night to "Change for Ukraine" Everyone was able to eat and have a good time, all while raising money to bring to Ukraine!








In total, we were able to raise $892 to donate to the Jewish community in Ukraine! We had so much fun raising the money, and knowing that it is going to help the Jewish community makes us all very proud to be able to help!


Like I said before, we are all very excited to be leaving so soon, and we can't wait to be able to share this experience with our peers in Ukraine!


xoxo,

Sarah
