FIRST POST(:

Hey guys,
Sorry this took me so long, let's just say I have had a pretty intense summer so far. Well the first week of my project is going great. I decided to change my idea a little bit from doing a walk for breast cancer to actually having a car wash. I would like to do this somewhere around the end of August so I can advertise on orientation day. I wanted to do a walk at first but I knew that, that would take more than a few months of planning. I made a power point that shows the positive things in having this car wash, all the obstacles that will come and how I can face them, and also showing the people that will help me along the way. I really hope they like my idea and allow me to follow through with it. If they like this, I would like to have this at Kettering possibly, or perhaps somewhere that is more open. I know this process will take time, and I am still looking for people who would like to help, but supporting breast cancer research is very important to me. If I decide to do this somewhere other than Kettering than I will present them my power point and show them how they can be a part of it. Also, I am going to try and order some of those breast cancer bracelets and sell them throughout the car wash for $1. I think that that would be a cool way to represent breast cancer support. Breast Cancer, and Cancer alone has been a huge trauma in my family, and if I can't cure it then I will at least do what I can to help. I decided that a car wash would not really target one specific age group either. I mean lots of people have dirty cars and wouldn't mind a wash right? I work at Kroger if you didn't already know, and I see people come in all the time who are trying to sell bracelets, and t-shirts and whatever they can to get some donations. It has opened my eyes to how much just a little bit of money can help. I'm not expecting my car wash to make tons of money, but just a little will make my mind at ease. So I will let you guys know in a few days where I am having at, and if it is approved(: But keep in mind, I will need some people to help me wash cars so let me know if you would like to help!
Wish me luck guys, hope all is going well for you guys too!
