I am proposing to do fundraisers, and get local business to sponsor. I will go through Make-A-Wish
foundation! After I get all the money, I will donate the money to a specific child, and make their
“wish” come true. The fundraisers I would do, would be teacher dress down day (county wide), hat
Day, T-shirt sales, Bake sale, Etc..
I will go through the school district and get permission, then I will make the stickers/shirt/etc. and
make profit off of them, all of the profit will go straight to my child‟s “wish”.

ways. One „learning stretch‟ will be organizing every event and making sure it is all going
to work out!
