Every month, Global Medical Brigades of Whittier College holds a fundraiser to donate to those in Honduras. Our most common fundraiser is a bake sale, where cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and make other types of sweets. Other fundraisers include sponsors from Chipotle and Blaze Pizza as well as attending TV shows in Hollywood, where each person is paid $20-40 for being a part of the audience.
Unfortunately, on-campus organizations are not allowed to sell food from outside the campus. As a result, our organization partnered with Bon Appetite, our on-campus dining hall, for our bake sale. Bon Appetite sells the sweets to us for $0.50 each and we sell them to the Whittier College community for $2.00 each, giving us a profit of $1.50 per item sold. Fundraisers such as bake sales are very effective in bringing in profit, for we made about $150 for each bake sale we’ve had since the beginning of the year.
The bake sale will be in front of the CI on 4/19 (Thursday) from 10AM-2PM! Please come support our cause by purchasing sweets!
