Our Goals To raise awareness about the disease

Sickle Cell Anemia. To host a fundraiser in order to raise

money for Sickle Cell Ministries. To give out flyers with the information

regarding sickle cell anemia, thereby informing the public about the disease and how it affects the world.

The Plan in Action Candice-called BlueSky and set the date

for the fundraiser. (Thursday Oct. 9th) Bianca and Anthony-assisted in creating

flyers that we handed out around campus. Hayden and Spencer-created and ordered

the bracelets that we handed out to peers. Zach-created a fundraiser page about the

event on Facebook as well as the idea for the flyers.

Marketing We raised a total of $188.19, 10% of which

we kept, to a total of $18.82. Though it wasn’t a target amount we still

continued to spread the word about sickle cell anemia to those around campus.

We handed out the wrist bands that were left over in the free speech area as well as to our friends with a informational strip attached to it.

What We Have Learned

Though conflict can arise in group projects we were fortunate enough to not have any major conflict and we were able to pull through and make our project as clear and as meaningful as possible.

We accomplished our goals, spread awareness about the disease, and attempted to raise money for Sickle Cell Ministries.

We learned how to communicate effectively to get the job done, as well as how to apply the knowledge of organizational communication from what we learned in class.
