Our club decided that since we had leftover funds from the previous year, we didn't need to do a fundraiser for ourselves. So, we decided to do one for charity. Two of our officers previously raised a lot of money through selling Krispy Kreme Donuts, so we decided to do that as our fundraiser. We believed we would make the most profit with this company. We sold them for two weeks during November. They were supposed to be delivered and distributed in December; however, sports and activities were shut down for two weeks, so our dates got postponed. We were finally able to distribute the donuts at the beginning of January. We ended up having extras so we donated those to essential workers. We raised over $1,000 for Make-A-Wish and donated the money shortly after the donuts were delivered.
