Loose Change to Loosen Chains….. Got Change to Unchain a Life?
A group of us at Cabrillo College are in a communications class and part of our semester project is to do a fundraiser for a worthy cause. We have chosen International Justice Mission (IJM).
IJM is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local officials around the world to ensure immediate victim rescue and aftercare, to prosecute perpetrators and to promote functioning public justice systems. They have offices in 25 countries and free 1 million children a year.
Our goal is to fundraise at least $500 for the semester. If we exceed our goal it would be even better. Any change you have to help this worthy cause would be appreciated. Thank you for changing a life!
Sincerely,
Erin, Ari, Sarah, Stephen & Karina

Fundraising Projects and Results:
We first attempted to place cans in grocery stores with an explaination of what our goal was for our fundraising project. However, we quickly ran into a problem and the grocery stores would not allow us to do so. So we chose to do fundraising projects at restaurants. Below you will find the results for the places and dollar amount raised in each event.
12/05/08 Fresh Choice: $0
11/21/08 Baja Fresh: $12
12/4/08 Sweet Tomatoes: $5
12/4/08 Home Party (Arbone, Partylight, Cookie Lee, chiropractic & donations): $ 477
Our GRAND total was: $494
As you can see, the results are not what we expected nor what we had hoped for in some of our fundraising areas. There is always room for improvements on where error could have occurred or things could have been done better. I believe this was a big eye opener for all of us and I do see this as a learning experience especially for how to and not to do future fundraising.
