Boys Town of Central Florida's current problems are raising funds to schedule and hold events for the amount of children that live in the homes throughout the year. With over forty children living in the houses, Boys Town heavily relies on donations to have events for the children outside of their grounds.

Our Client: Boystown of Central Florida:

Plan and organize a trip to Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum for the underprivileged youths living in the Intervention and Assessment house at Boys Town Central Florida. We wanted to raise awareness and be positive role models in an environment outside of their living restraints.

Our Solution

SMART Tasks that directly involved the kids and our solution

We did this by: Creating Flyers Social Networking( Creating Facebook and Twitter pages for our project for Boystown of Central Florida

Asking for donations from friends and family

SMART Task : Bring awareness to the Boys Town of Central Florida organization

For Our fundraising efforts: We asked Corporations for donations. Orchestrated a Giveback Night at Chili’s

Hosted a 5K run at Blanchard Park Held a Spirit Night at Tijuana Flats

SMART Task: Fundraising

We had Supplies for the Dessert Social donated from Truffles Grille and Subways, we bought the drinks

We sport equipment for the kids to play with, we enjoyed a riveting Basketball game after eating.

SMART Task: Social with Boys Town

We rented a pavilion at Blanchard Park Purchased supplies (water, hotdogs for grilling)

Our Team made 40 T-Shirts for anticipated participants

Invited family, friends an current supporters of BoysTown

SMART Task: 5K

This was our final event and part of our overall o goal for the kids at BoysTown. In order to take 15 kids to Ripley’s Believe it

or not museum, we had to contact them about tickets/pricing. Ripley’s gave us a discount!

For the barbeque afterwards: We purchased Hot dogs and snacks/drinks

SMART Task: Ripley's event and Dinner

Our 5K originally scheduled to happen on Saturday, March 17th, was changed to Friday March 16th, due to rental issues with Blanchard Park. With work and school on Friday several runners who had committed to participating had to back out. Out of 35 people who had said they would be able to attend, only 8 showed up the day of.

Our Shortfalls:

Another shortfall that can be accredited to scheduling was our Tijuana Flats Giveback Night. Originally planned for March 8th, our group realized this would be during Spring Break and many students would not be in town to go. The date was changed to the only other available day, March 29th, however this was after our Ripley’s event day and the money could not be used to contribute to the Ripley’s day in general

Shortfalls Continued

In the end, we delivered to boystown $70 from Chili's. $208.45 in Desserts for our Desert Social, $468.37 for the Ripley’s Tickets. The Barbeque after was $53.65 . Donated 25 T-shirts, worth 167.02, and $40 from Tijuana Flats

although the Tijuana Flats fundraiser was after our Ripley’s event, the money was left as a monetary donation.

The non-monetary resource we delivered was a positive environment wherein the kids of Boystown could enjoy themselves
