We've met our fundraising goal! After months of bake sales, careful planning, and stints manning the Straz concession stand, the SLP's have exceeded their $3,000 goal!! Thanks is due to all of you who donated to Coach's page and to Student Forum whose last minute, sizable contribution pushed us over the threshold.
Our next step is attending SEGD's annual Walk-A-Thon at 10am in Vinoy Park, St. Petersburg on March 9! You too can sign up and receive a T-shirt after donating $25 to SEGD. You may walk individually or sign up to walk with Coach at http://sitstaygive.org/coach. Either way, we hope to see you there!!

Fundraising Update
Thanks to a generous donation from Ms. Schneider and the Serve Tutors, we are now only $800 away from our fundraising goal!!!! (We get a $500 discount, because Mrs. McLean is a current puppy raiser.) Just as a reminder, all of the money goes toward South Eastern Guide Dogs and their pursuit of matching every visually impaired person with a well-trained and capable guide dog.
You can see the updated bone graphic at www.sitstaygive.org/coach.
Help us raise the rest of the money; come out to Headmaster's Challenge tomorrow and purchase items from the concession stand in the Straz Family Field House!! We'll have coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and ice cream :)
Thank you for your support and GO BUCS!

Breaksale Success!
The SLPs made over $260 at their Friday breaksale!!! We more than doubled our estimates with a brand new product: ice cream bars! They flew off the shelves, so to speak! :)
In addition to ice cream, we had cupcakes, doughnuts, and cookies that SLPs generously donated to the cause.
Oh, and Coach almost ate a doughnut :D (Click here to see Mrs. McLean's blog post.)
As you can see from our http://www.sitstaygive.org/coach page, we have nearly broken $1,000!! With three more breaksales this semester, the Cone Café (which will be a later post), and manning the concession stand at Headmasters', we're crossing our fingers that the SLPs will be able to reach their $3,500 goal in time for the March Walk-A-Thon!
Our next breaksales are November 19th, November 26th, and December 3rd. We'll definitely have ice cream bars for the November 19th breaksale (and hopefully for the other two as well). So, if you're a Berkeley student, remember to bring in cash!!

SLP Breaksales
The SLPs had another successful breaksale on Friday, September 14th. We raised more than $100! Yay!
Where does the money go? This year, the SLPs have set the library's biggest fundraising goal ever: $3,500 to name the McLeans' SEGD puppy for the 2013-2014 school year. So, all the money we raise goes to a very good cause, helping to cover the costs of training and raising guide dogs for the visually impaired.
There are three ways you can help out:
1. Buy treats at the October 12th and November 9th breaksales! Both days are Fridays, but the items sold at the breaksales will be very different. October 12th is a baked goods sale; we will likely have lots of brownies, cookies, cupcakes, etc. and hopefully some doughnuts and bagels, too! We are pleased to announce that the November 9th breaksale will be a Boba sale! That's right, Boba tea!!
We are currently in the process of surveying students to identify the most popular flavors and then offer them at the breaksale! :)
2. Come to the homecoming football game (October 19th) and Headmasters' Challenge (January 12th) and pay a visit to the concession stand. The SLPs will be manning the concession booths at both events!
3. Come join the Walk-A-Thon on March 9, 2013, to help the SLPs raise money for SEGD!
You can see our progress at www.sitstaygive.org/coach and watch a bone gradually fill in as we approach our $3,500 goal!
