Fundraising is very important to our chapter, especially with the PRSA National Conference right around the corner. Five of our members are attending the event being held in San Francisco, Calif. So, naturally, we wanted to support our attending members and our chapter as a whole by planning an event.
The Dr. Julie Henderson PRSSA chapter hosted our brat fry Saturday, Sept. 22 and Sunday, Sept. 23 at the local Pick’n Save on Jackson Street. The “venue” for our event was a wooden shack equipped with a cooler, prep table and Nesco, but it did the trick. We were all really excited to interact with the community and spread awareness about our student organization.
We offered a delicious array of grilled hot dogs, hamburgers and brats at our brat fry. We also had soda to help customers quench their thirst. It was really great to see and feel the support from local community members, friends and our lovely advisor Dr. Julie Henderson. Several people just walked up to our brat stand and donated money without even purchasing anything.
A handful of our members signed up to work in shifts at our event. We had a lot of great participation from everyone! In the end, we all had a lot of fun promoting PRSSA and fundraising for our organization. It was a great start to a fun-filled year for the UWO chapter of PRSSA. The event was a good morale booster and a preview to events we will have in the future. When all was said and done, our chapter made $170.50. We are very excited to brainstorm more fundraising events and to see what our fundraising director, Cammie Lehmann, has in store.
