Dear Dr. Sluder:

Cards for cans! We are pleased to propose a fun and creative way to help fight the issue of hunger.

Background and GoalsEnactus is a student organization that enables progress through entrepreneurial action. We know that Enactus has been involved in Campbell’s “Let’s Can Hunger” campaign, agreeing to raise 5000 pounds. For one in six people hunger is a very real issue. Last semester a group hosted a Casino Night for the first time. We want to continue this fun activity to attract people to come help the cause. We plan to host a Casino Night, where people can donate cans for poker chips, which they will use for the different table games. We hope our contribution will have an impact on our community through spreading awareness and collecting canned goods.

Proposed PlanWe will host a Casino Night at The PUB on campus. We believe that creating this event will attract people to come help “can” hunger. Because we want a lot of people to participate we need a couple weeks to coordinate and market the event (see schedule). We plan to have people donate either cans or a monetary donation in exchange for porker chips. People will not just be donating cans they will be having fun and participating in a game which we believe will attract more people and raise more cans.

ScheduleWith your approval, the following schedule has been created for our event:

Marketing February 4th – March 4th Casino Night March 6th

StaffingWe plan to have the normal PUB staff serving food and drinks. We plan to have our group members and some friends that are game card experts, to work as the dealer at the tables. Our team members, Meghan and Moses that have good customer relation skills will run the greeting table. Where they will collect cans and donations, as well as distribute the poker chips, and raffle tickets. The pub has chairs and tables that we will use for the actual poker tables. We have felt that we will use to dress up the tables.

BudgetWe don’t have any expenses since our materials (cards, poker, and felt) are being recycled from the casino night event last semester.

AuthorizationWe are convinced, Dr. Sluder that our fun and creative way to raise cans will be a great success, yet again. We believe that the Casino Night will attract many people and raise many cans.

Sincerely,

Bianca Lofton, Will Phillips, Meghan Del Castillo, Anh Vu, Jacob Markow, and Moses M. Miyen
