Stout, Karen
Description
In an effort to raise funds and raise awareness to the WWU campus about OurTreehouse, we held a three day bake sale on vendors row. Over those three days, we spoke to many students, faculty, and staff about the impact Our TreeHouse has on the Bellingham community and the population they serve and raised over $260 in donations. We also volunteered at OurTreeHouse's annual fundraising dinner. We assisted with set-up, decorating, serving, and take-down. Thanks to our efforts, we helped Our TreeHouse save almost $15,000 in outside costs. The event raised $32,500 for the organization to continue to provide grief counseling, workshops support groups and more for grieving family members in their time of need.
