The document analyzes and compares two crowdfunding projects - Caring Cans and Help for Pelee Island. Caring Cans, which aimed to donate cans to charities, raised only $40 of its $5,000 goal and had a simple video that was not very engaging. Help for Pelee Island, which sought to clean up Pelee Island, raised over $9,000 of its $20,000 goal. It was well-organized and had strong leadership and data to support the project. The document concludes that Help for Pelee Island succeeded because it was supported by leaders and had an outstanding presentation, while Caring Cans failed to achieve its full potential by not properly supporting its main idea.

good job from their video to
how they presented their
data.
