(Megan, showing off her "Bunco" win with the Bunco glasses! She was one of our big winners!)After a very successful Bunco fundraiser in Portland, I arranged a second event up here in Seattle to see if I could rally my local friends and raise more than the Portlanders.
I had tons, and tons of prizes (tons of Brooks gear, AquaSox tickets, Girl Scout Cookies, wine!), and four days before I only had three people committed (my local TNT girls), so I was nervous. But I rallied and got my event out around work, day care, my fellow Gymboree moms!
I was able to hold this event at the Brooks Corporate office in the cafeteria. It was perfect; plenty of tables, chairs, space for snacks and easy clean up! And, at the end of the night I had 13 people come to play!
And the drum roll, did they beat the Portlanders???
This is a tough questions because I changed up some of the stuff for this event. In Portland, the buy in was $10, in Seattle it was $15. In Seattle, if you brought a friend, you got an additional raffle ticket. In Portland, I sold extra raffle tickets for $5. Needless to say, Portland still beat them in total, but per person, Seattle won! Let's face it, everyone was really a winner her, it all went to a great cause!
Thanks to everyone who came out to play! It was a blast!
