Hey everyone! Well the Live in for Literacy event has come to a close. SFU’s final total is a whopping $4098.14! Laura and I are so proud of our school as well as ourselves. We learned a lot through this experience which we hope to apply if SFU can participate again next year. We would like to thanks everyone who donated, volunteered, told others about the event, and everyone else who helped including the security and maintenance staff. We would especially like to thank Scott and all the other library staff who were so amazing. Laura thought of an awesome idea for us to post about what we were most surprised by so here it goes. Laura was most surprised by how much more guys were willing to donate than girls, and how they were also more likely to donate more or be repeat donors than girls. I was most surprised by how you have to ask each person directly “do YOU have any spare change” before they will donate, or else they will walk right by.
Well, that’s it. Hopefully we will see you next year!
