Ever since we we're given this question, my group has been working very hard to do whatever we can to get sponsors and donations. We've each been tackling different tasks to reach our goal of earning $150,000. The things that we've been doing are: looking for discounts on airline tickets for the flight next year, looking for the contact information of different celebrities, looking for corporate sponsors to help with our funding, thinking of fund-raising ideas to start actually planning them and putting together the Strength of We website. To help with the advertisement and try to give people more knowledge about what we're doing, I [Lynn] have recently posted a blog on my Myspace page to inform fellow Myspace friends of what is going on and to get the word out to help raise money. What I plan on doing within the next week is contacting all the celebrities that i got contact information for and informing them about our plan [hopefully gaining some sort of donation]. We've definitely got a lot of work on our hands to accomplish our goal by April 1st of next year, but I believe if we all work together we can do it!
