We initially wanted to make bracelets

As Well as sell bracelets at fourth friday and

use the money for the non profit organizations.

To use social media like instagram to have a

group of followers to help support the marine
life.

Even take video footage to put on youtube or a

blog to show our progress.

We both went our own way because jess was
working more on volunteer work and Kaleigh
was working on selling bracelets/fundraising.

Jess volunteered at the V.I.P. night for the

MOC, and running the booth, raising over
$145 dollars in donations for them.

Kaleigh stuck to the original plans and made

a bunch of bracelets to sell, raising around
$60 making the total more than $200 which
we passed our initial goal.

 P P T
We came back together as a team and
realized we didn't have to do it alone! We
were able to fundraise over $200 and finish
up our initial plan.

We also continued our Instagram, having to

make a new one after getting locked out of
our account.

The school and the Marine Institute were

connected as well.

We are also allowed to help with the booth

whenever we are able to.
