Direct donation campaign

In August I started work on a Direct Donation campaign for the PTA.  I mostly involved writing letters and emails and data entry once donations were received.  The plan was to just ask families to give the PTA money (there was a suggested amount) and that would take the pressure off some of the other large scale fundraisers like the Walk-a-thon.  The kids love the Walk-a-thon but it is a daunting amount of work for parent volunteers.  

It was the first year we were doing this type of fundraiser and we weren't sure if people would open their wallets for the PTA.  Well, the checks came rolling in.  The campaign wrapped up last Friday and at tonight's PTA meeting the treasurer slipped me this note for my report.  

We will still be receiving corporate matching donations from employers but at this point, we pretty much doubled our goal of 20K.  I'm feeling pretty proud of myself.
