Hello my name is Mackenzie Leong. I am a 16 years old and I am a sophomore. I also attend Kamehameha Schools. I live in Waianae, Hawaii. My world history class is doing a project which involves helping and fundraising for certain events. The event that my partner and I choose to do is called "Relay for Life."
Relay for life is a fundraiser that allows people to come together and honor the cancer survivors, remember loved ones, and fight against the disease. My partner and I will be fundraising money that will be donated to the event. To raise money we plan on selling food items around our school to our fellow classmates. The money donated will help the American Cancer Society. The money will also be going towards research, road to recovery, research to recovery, and to make sure patients feel good and look good. This project is important to me because everyday there are many people suffering from this deadly disease. I thought that since I am healthy and well enough to make a difference it should start now. |
Week OneOn week one we decided what our project would be based on. We choose to fundraise for a cause called "Relay for Life." This supports people with cancer and trying to find an end to the deadly disease. Our plan to raise money by selling various food items around our school. We look forward to the weeks ahead of us. Week Four On week Four we are getting our baking goods together to start to sell and raise our money for the event. My goal is collect at least $40 from selling our backing goods. I am working on also getting donations from family members so that more money can be donated. I want to donate enough money to help the event out. |
Week TwoOn week two, my partner and I were not on the island to do our project. Sierra and I were in the mainland for a volleyball trip. We plan on starting to sell our food products when we return to school. But we did decide what we are going to sell to raise money. We will be selling cookies, brownies, and candies.
Week Five On week five I have collected about $35 by selling baked goods outside of school. Although I didn't reach my goal of money raised there is still time to get there. I am also working on getting more donations by others. This week I have also been working on the powerpoint. While I'm doing that Sierra has been working on the Brochure for our project. |
Week ThreeDuring week three Sierra and I will be selling brownies and banana bread. We've had a little set back because we cannot sell in school.We have also been asking for donations from our families to raise more money.
Week 6 On week six I'm want to focus on finishing up our sales and start to wrap up the powerpoint and make it so that we can present. Since the dirty work is done now it is time to put everything all together. During week 6 we are also going to turn in our donations to the event online.Since Sierra is done with the brochure she will be helping me finish the powerpoint. |
