3. Were there any unique strategies implemented that made a difference for Marshfield?
"Yes, I was able to do 3-4 different kick offs to make sure I could get in front of all the kids and parents. That made a difference when explaining the fundraiser and showing incentives – WE SHOWED UP!"
4. Did you receive any feedback from the Marshfield team, coaches, or parents on managing and tracking donations/sales?
