Financial Summary for Team Review
Overview
SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF YOU! The our first Friday Lunch Club demonstrates that this fundraiser has real potential. Even with it being our first effort, we generated over $700 in revenue and netted more than $500 after expenses, thanks to the support of our community, donors, volunteers, and customers.
Perhaps the most encouraging sign is that this event was built largely through relationships and word-of-mouth. With lessons learned, earlier promotion, expanded marketing, and a larger customer base, there is every reason to believe we can increase both sales and net proceeds each month.
The first Friday Lunch Club was made possible through the generosity of volunteers, individual donors, and corporate partners. In addition to cash support, several in-kind donations significantly reduced our food costs.
