Candy bars funding NYC trip

Published on January 21, 2009 by David Holden

I'm telliin' ya, it's really effortless. I put a box of chocolate candy bars on the corner of my desk at work. By day's end I sold 5 candy bars. I posted the cost at 75 cents but everyone gave me a dollar since it is non-profit. This is stuff people are going to buy anyway, so it's real easy.

Now I know toting a box around someplace will be a bit more labor intensive than me sitting it on my desk corner, but think of this.

30 candy bars - costs $15

5 candy bars per day @ $1.00 each= $5.00/day

In a good week I double my money. Furthermore - think of this - at this rate between now and April I will raise enough to send one person to NYC. This is something your folks could help you with and it requires little effort if they do the same thing at their work.

For those of you who need a ride to Sam's Club to pick up a box, let me know. I will be headed back for more myself.

Pax,
David Holden
