HBSFN

In early spring we were told that the scout fundraiser this year involved each boy (I have two!) selling ONE HUNDRED  Price Chopper cards. The were not allowed to go door to door and not allowed to call the people in the ward. 

You know what that means. 

Mark and I were going to stuck trying to hawk those things to friends, neighbors and coworkers for the foreseeable future. 

Please, dear heaven, don't make me do it.

So it dawned on me that the entire purpose of the fundraiser was to raise the money they needed to go to Scout Camp and High Adventure this summer. There's got to be a better way to raise this money. 

So we invented....

Hufford Brothers Super Fun Night

We choose a movie, plan a snack and a supplemental activity and then let parents know on Facebook that they are free to bring their kids over for babysitting and they get to go on a date. 

We charged $5 for 1 kid, $10 for 2-3 kids and $15 for 4+ per family

And it was a total hit. 

Our last event, we had 32 kids (not including ours). Luckily we had extra helpers or I think we may have had a Lord of the Flies situation on our hands.

We've done:

Big Hero 6/ Playdough

How to Train Your Dragon / No Fire S'mores

Frozen/ Ice cream sundaes

Lego movie/ Lego building contest

Nemo / Ice cream cones

It has been fun and crazy and so hilariously chaotic, but the boys worked hard and have earned their money for their scout activities.

They also got a glimpse of the power of the entrepreneurial spirit and what can happen when you find something that people want (10 dollar date night? Where do I sign up?)
