Bronze Sponsor!

We have our first sponsor!!!  Indian Head Agencies (1980) LTD is on board to help us out with a bronze sponsorship!  Darren and Virginia Horsman are great people.  I know because I am lucky enough to work for them.  And I didn't even have to bully them into it. 

Our sponsors never cease to amaze me.  We have so much support from almost everyone we approach.

This is what we use the money for. 
I would love to say that we have one set type of applicant.  But we don't.  Our applicants have ranged in income from 11,000.00 dollars per year to 70,000.00 per year.  Because Forever Friends has always believed that there should be no set income cap, we help people no matter what they earned because we spend based on what we earn.  No one should have to lose their house because they get cancer.  Obviously the people that earn more, need less.  Two income families have an easier time.  We don't see very many two income families unless there are small children.  When there are kids that need child care the need goes up significantly.  We gave away 27,900.00 dollars in the last 12 months. 

We spent 2863.00 on expenses to run the organization.  Things like our accountant(451.00), stamps(198.32), brochures(405.68), and mileage(392.90).  We also bought T-shirts and bags(903) that we sell at events.  We also bought a sign(154) this year for events.  As we have expanded we have had to travel more.  This is the first year we have paid mileage(440).  At these events we hand out brochures, talk to people and sell some merchandise.  We don't have much merchandise but we try to have some on hand.  We also supply brochures to Breast Cancer Action Saskatchewan.  We understand that these are given to women with breast cancer in their newly diagnosed kits. 

We have no costs associated with staff or office space.  As I may have mentioned before we are a completely volunteer organization.  We are going to be approaching more people in the upcoming weeks.  Please help us if you can.  Feel free to approach us.  If you would like to help us out, email us.  We would love help.  If you would like to be on the waiting list for tickets let us know that as well. Our email address is foreverfriendsauction@hotmail.com We would love to hear from you. 

Thanks for everything.  I appreciate the fact that you all continue to read.  Have a great week!
