that's how our new bus will look like
Dear Friends,
We're getting closer and closer to raising the amount we need to buy a new bus for our young circus vagabonds. And we would love to share our success stories about fundraising. One of them is, of course, about you. Thank you for donating to our project on GlobalGiving!
How it all started: we collaborated with a Russian company that produces wheat flour, and had 1 rouble donated to our project from each packet of flour sold in the stores: we raised more than $24000. After that we decided to raise the rest of the amount by local charity events and crowdfunding.
We raised money on a Russian crowdfunding web-site, and got more than $1200.
We organized a charity event where families listened to music, planted flowers and drank tea by the pond -- and raised about $6000.
We put out a money box at all of our circus events, and during the winter holidays in December 2013 and first days of January 2014 we raised almost $1500!
The last, but not the least at the moment -- we talked to Volkswagen company, and they will generously sell us a Volkswagen bus with a $16000 discount.
At this rate, we will be able to buy a new bus before next summer, so that our circus will go on a safe tour to Europe and several Russian cities.
Stay with the circus hooligans!
