Despite a hot day we stood strong and spent the whole day chasing shade in the driveway and selling a decent amount of stuff from DVDs, games, clothes, and books to some really weird knick-knacks. We made sure people knew what their money was going to and they were very pleased, some even telling us to keep the change. We even had the generous offer of matching up to $200 from one of our support team members (aka a boyfriend). After a long sticky day we made out with a donation of over $600. Success!
We're very honored that we could contribute to such a great cause. A big part of the Guild is encouraging girls and women to not hesitate to indulge in their interests and passions. Whether it's comics, Star Wars, coding, or physics we hope that one day girls and women don't even have to think twice about diving head first into the things they enjoy. Hopefully we'll have more opportunities to volunteer and work with groups like Girls Inc in the future and we can keep up the momentum!
