    Favorite memory: Our first door-to-door fundraiser

    Matthew and I were nervous to go door to door, but it ended up being a blast. We raised money, got sign-ups, and when parents complimented us, it was one of the first times we realized we were making a difference in our community.

    Favorite memory: Our first event

    Everyone was nervous, and it felt like electricity was running through the air. We had a couple of setbacks, but once we got started, my team had so much fun teaching the kids how to make playdough and watching them play with it.
