FUNdraising



EWB-UI is growing exponentially, and our fundraising efforts are growing with it! Our goal for the 2010-2011 school year is $10,000 and we are well on our way!!! Our second Biannual "Doughnut Day" Krispy Kreme FUNdraiser was a complete success! We sold 200 dozen which raised over $1000! This is a 33% increase from the 150 dozen that we sold last spring at our first Doughnut day!
The EWB UI holds biannual "Doughnut Day" on the Wednesday of dead week for the University of Idaho. Our group drives to Spokane to get our pre-ordered doughnuts at 4 am the morning of to ensure that the buyers get them as fresh as possible. We then sell them on campus and to local companies for $1 for one, $5 for half dozen, and $10 for a dozen. Together with the Applebee's Pancake Feed in October, we have raised over $1,200 dollars!
We are looking forward to continuing our fundraising efforts with our first annual EWB UI Gala Event in spring of 2012.


However, now is the time for the Annual EWB National Matching Campaign. For every penny we earn we will be matched 150% by EWB National's corporate sponsors. The match ends January 15th so we need your help now! What we would like you to do is go to the DONATE page and donate any amount, even $1 helps!! 
EWB USA gives $5,000 prize for the greatest number of donations no matter how small and another $5,000 prize for the most amount of money raised. So any little donation truly can help!!
