Carwash Fundraiser at 7/11!

Welcome to MEMO 7G's Carwash!

With the final fundraiser before the mission trip, we had a carwash at the 7/11 on Edinger Ave and Goldenwest Street. All of our 7G goers help carry out this carwash to raise more funds for heart surgeries for children with congenital heart diseases. Thank you to 7/11 for making this event possible. As 7/11 supplied the water, we provided the manpower to make this fundraiser happen.

With all of the supplies donated by the 7G goers, we worked from 9AM-5PM. Car washes are a fun way to fundraise and bond with fellow 7G goers. All year, the three chapters, UCI, UCLA, and UCSD, carry out fundraisers for the mission trip, raising funds for all projects - heart program, medical clinics, dental program, HOPE project, scholarship program, and transfer of technology (please see first blog entry for more details).

Katy hards work washing cars while having fun. Can't you tell by the look on her face?
The parking lot was full with cars waiting to be washed. Time to wash up!

Overall, with all of the 7G goers' help and dedication to the mission trip, we fundraised over $700!!! Awesome job to our members, especially those who worked the whole day from 9am to 5pm as well as those who weren't going on the trip but still came out. We couldn't have done it without our members. In addition, we would like to thank Vy Nguyen and MEMO at UCI for organizing this fundraiser. It goes to show you that hard work pays off. Thank you to everyone who came out to have their car washed and supported MEMO on our journey. Next stop: Vietnam.

Countdown: 1 day!!!
