Egg Hunt Fundraiser

As I was brainstorming/asking my friends to brainstorm ways to raise money for my trip to Guatemala this summer a friend came up with an idea “since you don’t mind your house being a zoo- why don’t you have some kind of event and sell tickets?”  (thanks Kristin B.!!)  Her first idea was a tea party- but the planning for that entailed a lot of work and $$- plus it is kinda girly.  The idea was eventually tweaked into an Egg Hunt.  Gave the kiddos something to do and wasn’t too expensive to pull off.  It was a hit!!

At first we set a limit on finding 7 eggs and then helping the little ones- the big kids did great at this!!  When everyone had 7 we let them go and find the rest. 

The Egg Hunt went over well & I raised almost $300!!  Woo-hoo!  Hoping it gave the parents a chance to talk about mission trips with their kiddos.  It was a fun time!!  Thanks to everybody who came out!!
