Family Help Online Auction Fundraiser

by Cody
(Austin, Texas, USA)

I am the troop leader of some junior girl scouts in Lakeland, Florida. I have ten girls in my troop and we took a trip to the NASA space center this past summer. We needed to raise about $500 for the travel expenses and decided to sell pictures and pottery pieces the girls had made.

However, most of the family and relatives of the girls did not live in the local area so we decided to sell them through an online auction. This was a great way to interact with friends and family online and make money at the same time. The girls got excited when people bid on their pieces and when they sold at high prices. In the end we made about $600 and had a great trip.
