Day 25: Thursday September 12th 4pm - 7:30pm

This week was the YWCA Young Leaders Board event Cocktails for a Cause. After school, I came over to the YWCA to help out before the event. We finished packing up raffle items, selling a few raffle tickets to those who couldn't make it, and carrying everything over to Tavern 245. Courtney and I worked the registration table. We had a guest list of pre-purchased tickets and sponsors names to check off when guests arrived. Here are some of the details about the event.
  • Tickets were $25 a person
  • Raffle tickets for the big items were $10 a piece
              - Those included:
                        - 1 night stay at Bedford Spring
                        - 1 night stay at Renaissance Hotel in Pittsburgh 
                        - and iPad Mini
  • Other tickets were sold 5 for $5 or an arms-length for $10
               - That raffle included:
                        -  wine and vodka baskets
                        - several restaurant gift-cards
                        - a Coach purse
                        - and several other great prizes
  • The signature drink for the night benefited the YWCA  
 
Overall the event seemed to be a great success. The Young Leaders were all happy with the turn out. I believe the final number raised for the YWCA Greater Pittsburgh was around $4,000!
