Our current progress

Hey there everyone! I apologize my absence in updating here and for the short posts when I do. School tends to get crazy occasionally, but I do my best to keep everything as balanced as possible. Anyway, I had a GREAT selling day today. One lady mentioned how the headbands and wristbands make great gifts, and she is right! Hence, the next selling date is going to be Sunday, November 24th :) I am VERY excited, as I will have Holiday theme colors and new "lines". Also, we are close to half a thousand dollars! Woohoo!!
Every week we are making headbands. It can be exhausting, making them and doing inventory, sizing, ect. However, I must say, the reward of raising money for cancer research makes it all worth it :-)
On our etsy site, we have updated our wristband inventory and we will be updating our headband inventory throughout this week. http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeadbandsbyHFC

Thanks for all the support!

New Selling date!!!

A commonly asked question answered...

 As the project grows, I seem to get asked this question ... (hey, it's an honest question)... "Lexie, why are you doing this?" Not because they think I am doing anything wrong, but if I'm not doing this through  church, or an organization, then what's up with this project? Well, here it is, plain and simple... Because I can...because why not..? - No, I don't have cancer... But I have friends, and friends of friends who have fought it or have been affected by it somehow. Also, I'm not going to say that I know so much about it, because the truth is... I don't. But the stories I have heard from my "customers" who buy the headbands and wristbands in honor of themselves or someone that they know, I learn so much from them and it inspires me to keep going with the project. And sure, I get some self satisfaction, and I am proud of myself, I'm not going to lie to you guys.  But this project isn't about me. Even if I am making a difference, well hey that's cool... but I see it more of "a difference is being made"....and something is being done about it. I'm a strong believer in the quote... "Be the change you want to see in the world." I know that my project isn't going to cure cancer...but I feel that any action one takes, no matter how big or small is an action towards something greater. So overall, I wouldn't say the mission statement is "donating money to cure cancer," but rather "donating money to HELP the goal of curing cancer."

Cancer Awareness Months

So since we are a cancer fundraiser, we are working hard to try and recognize the cancer awareness months. This month has many, but this month is Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Ovarian Cancer awareness month. We're definitely going to promote our Lymphoma, since we have MANY green shirts and will make green headbands this week! We're also going to look our supply of orange for Leukemia, and see if we have any teal for Ovarian. We'll be looking at the amount of pink for Breast Cancer and look into Liver cancer. http://www.choosehope.com/calendar-of-cancer-awareness-months

Selling at St. Therese thoughts

So today I sold the headbands at St. Therese, a church in the next town to where I live, which also happens to be the one I joined about half of a year ago! I will admit, I was a little bit nervous, not knowing if everyone was going to be away for the Labor Day weekend. I got there very early, about an hour early to set up my table and everything, and at 11:30 am, a swarm of people came over to my table. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but in a good way. I was so excited to see my church family interesting in my project, buying headbands, and even giving donations! I sold after the 10:30 and Noon Mass. Both times were great and people asked me to come back, which I will be arranging hopefully for this month, and if not, then definitely for October! It was so much fun selling, and I am excited to sell again soon!

What I'll be working on for this month:
-Army colors
-Halloween Colors
-Pink for October Breast Cancer Awareness
-Colors for the High Schools in my County.

Update for August

Hey Everyone! So, we have a few exciting things for August! First, we will be trying to sell our headbands at St. Therese Church in Roxbury! We are also trying to find other places to sell our headbands at :) Please know that you can also buy headbands directly from me or any of my other teammates. Any questions feel free to post one on our "Questions and Comments" page! They will be answered and all will be read :)
Secondly, we are working on new color patterns. We will be working on a cameo type design, inspired by the military. Feel free to mention any color patterns that you want to see!

Remember that the more money we raise, the more we can donate to help find a cure for cancer, so we cannot do this without you. 100% goes to cancer research! For now, the team and I thank you for all of the support you have given us so far! WE LOVE YOU!!!

-Lexie and the Team

So far, we have raised....

$121 ! For only selling at one event, and a small one at that, I'd say its pretty good :-) I'll be updating inventory soon! Remember, 100% of the money goes to cancer research!!
