MSP’s September DIY fundraiser was a great success! Collectively we raised $1,847 of our $2,400 goal! MSP’s leadership team was split into 6 teams each with a goal of raising $400 in 30 days. Each team was given the freedom to choose their own DIY (Do It Yourself) project, craft, or action in order to raise funds while still having fun!
Here’s what each team did:
Team Bumblebee: Raised $670 by setting fundraising milestones to do actions live on social media including the Chubby bunny challenge (shoving as many marshmallows in your mouth as possible) after raising $50, drawing the MSP logo blindfolded after raising $100, taking a pie to the face after raising $150, doing the chicken dance in a public setting after raising $200, doing the cinnamon challenge after raising $300, and biting into a raw potato after raising $400. Additionally, Sun Lu gave League of Legends coaching with his expertise from the UCSD Collegiate Varsity Team for League of Legends to raise funds.
Team Swarm: Raised $511 by conducting a compliment challenge. Every person who donated received a compliment via video on social media.
Team Dandelion: Raised $442 by doing whip cream flips on social media for every donation.
Team Flyby: Raised $167 by using Instagram tools to share the campaign and raise awareness. Team lead, Adele, went on Instagram live and took on fun challenges where she fundraised $167 in one night!
Team Sting: Raised $57 by making decorative plant pots for and hanging macrame plant holders to sell. They covered shipping and material costs out of their own pockets and all proceeds they made were donated to this fundraiser.
Team Honey: Raised funds by offering Tarot Card readings through their “One Stop Witch Shop.” $3 for one card, $7 for three cards, $10 for five cards, $15 for a cord cutting spell, and $25 for birth chart readings.
The top fundraising individual this month is Erikka Linn who raised a total of $362 by doing whip flips! The top team was Team Bumblebee who raised a total of $670! We are beyond proud of the creativity and collective action of each and every team member this month.
