If you have ever been to North Carolina hopefully you have
had the opportunity to taste the delicious hot now original glazed doughnut
from Krispy Kreme. This company has become the most popular doughnut company in
North Carolina and surrounding states. It was first created in 1937 in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina and can now be found in locations all over the
United States. One of the things that make this company great is that they
offer a fundraising opportunity for organizations, whether they are non-profit
or not. Without hesitation the North Carolina Chapter utilized this fundraiser
to help raise money for our Brother’s that are attending NALC. We purchased
eighty boxes, which contained a dozen wonderful doughnuts each, from the Krispy
Kreme in downtown Raleigh for four dollars a box. We then camped out on the
Brickyard at the center of our campus and sold the doughnuts on Wednesday,
February 28th for eight dollars a box or one dollar a doughnut. We
even took a few boxes of doughnuts around to the different buildings on campus
and went to the many offices to sell doughnuts to professors and campus
personnel. We realized that not many
college students carry cash on them anymore, so in order to keep up with the
times we offered to take payment through the Venmo application. Overall this
fundraiser was a success and the money we earned will be very helpful in
covering some of the expenses of the Brother’s travelling to Oklahoma next
week.
