First fundraiser day was a success!!

I wasn't sure how this would pan out because I hadn't done this since my boys were in Boy Scouts - like 15 years ago or longer. But, my husband and I went down to the local grocery store and put our table out with a sign and some information to raise money for my B R E A S T Cancer 3-Day Walk. My husband didn't think people would just hand over money to us because we could have been a fake. Well, fortunately, people had faith in us and we raised about $100 for this event. We're scheduled to be there tomorrow too and I hope to raise at least as much then. I was very excited when someone put a $10 bill into our donation jar - not for a raffle ticket, but just to donate! We got at least one other $10 donation, a few $5, and a lot of $3-$4. It was very heart warming to see people be so generous for such a great cause. I'm only about half way to my goal, but I have a few more fundraisers to go so I think I'll make what I need. Do you give to the people that stand outside of the stores for their group/cause?
