The Tree Musketeer’s Bake sale!!
Raising money and awareness, one day at a time! :)
Blogged by: Sam, Mackenzie, Vanessa, and Tristin

Finally after planning for over two weeks are global goal group was able to step forward and take action!! We teamed up with two other groups (H2 woah and youth for equality) to make some delicious baked goods and for an added flare our group made some green wrap around bracelets.
All of the proceeds are going to Ducks Unlimited, a foundation that works to restoring wetlands aiding Canada’s environment in amazing ways. On their website they state: “We conserve, restore and manage wetlands and grasslands to benefit waterfowl, wildlife and people.” (ducks, 2016). I’ll make sure to link the site below so you’ll be able to check it out and see all the amazing things they do for Canada’s environment. Our group thought that this was a great charity to fundraise for because not only is it helping restore the environment, it is also helping Canadian Wildlife due to it protecting wetland species homes.
While fundraising for charities our group also wanted to raise more awareness about our goal; life on land. So we came up with the idea of handing out facts that were the size of business cards. Each card included our group name: The Tree Musketeers, a fact about the environment and our logo. The cards were sold along with the bigger sugar cookies.
In the end the bake sale was a success as we managed to raise $171.27 and also educate the students in our school! :)
Make sure to read our blog next week to keep up to date with our activities!
