In this last sales class, Professor Sweet gave us an opportunity to sell ducks for an ABT event. The event is a duck’s race down Wolf Creek which is also a fundraiser for women with breast cancer in Beaver. All proceeds are going to them as a result. I think this whole idea is a fun and innovative one. It’s such a simple idea in concept but in delivery, it’s so much more. being too able to out to those in need of help, locally is such a strong method of unifying people together. In total, our class helped raise more than 500 dollars to the cause and well over 100 ducks to float down eh creek. Overall, I love the idea of this and would love to see other Greek life organizations take a stab at something like this.

I enjoyed learning more about this. I had heard about this event and had seen the class walking around making their sales pitch to students; it's neat to hear how effective it was! I really appreciate that the proceeds went towards helping people who are suffering in the local community. This strengthens the unity between college and community in a way that is so important to our Christian witness overall as a college.
Fundraisers like this are such a unique way to raise money for a good cause. As redemptive entrepreneurs, its still important to be able to be creative in how we do things. If we can create a unique idea that is going to pull people in, we are going to have a more successful business.
