One of the fun things about Patrick's participation in Edgren sports is that we "get" to help with fundraising. Actually, it isn't so bad. I find I meet more of his friends' parents when we get involved in these activities, and the cross country fundraising tends to be pretty low key.
Two weeks ago, we baked a dozen cakes for the Edgren High School cake sale. Every year, the school has a fundraising booth at the base Air Show. All the classes, the sports, and various other clubs, etc., bake for the sale (we baked for the cross country team). Then each group get the proceeds from its contributions.
Our Japanese guests love to buy the square cakes with no frosting pictured above. The school sells them for $5 each. They regularly sell every cake they have. This year that meant 2,000 cakes!
Next up, car wash! (anyone want to buy a ticket? Only $5 ;-) Darn, I guess your car does need to be in Misawa for this one). But expect to be solicited to sponsor Patrick in the fun run again this year. The team is trying really hard to earn enough money to buy new warm-ups. The old ones leave a bit to be desired in the style category. No one even likes to wear the pants.
