The Giving Buddies are Giving Big

Wrapping up the Big Give!

As Student Council members, myself and the secretary of Best Buddies, Emilyann, decided that we would raise money with the for our . As the project comes to an end, we are pulling together all of that money that we worked so hard to earn. We have collected a large profit from our fundraisers, but our last stop will be in Northford Center.

At the beginning of this Big Give project, Emilyann and I were thinking of quick and easy ways to earn a little more while focusing more on the more in depth fundraisers. Our first idea was to put a can in that fellow pizza-eaters could drop a few coins in. 

We did this last year as well and, surprisingly, after having the can in there for a month or so, we earned a good $70. We were shocked to see such a wonderful turnout and so pleased with Giovanni's for how they displayed our can to their customers.

Something as easy as placing a can on the front counter of a pizza place shows the genorosity and the compassion that our fellow North Branford residents have for one another. It's amazing how something as small as a can sitting on a counter could spark people's inner spirit to anonymously make a difference.
