Barktober Fest Bake Sale!

Susie Schneider our amazing team captain of Kribbit's Kritters and Lollypop Farm Pet Peeves volunteer held a bake sale at her office complex. All of the funds from the bake sale went towards our Barktober Fest goal. The sale was a great success and raised $274! Way more than we could have anticipated. Michelle's Cafe was nice enough to help out and donate $100 towards that total!

The History - Kribbit's Kritters

I am proud to say this is my second year on Team Kribbit's Kritters for Lollypop Farm's Barktober Fest. I've been walking in Barktober Fest since about 1998. I can remember being in 6th grade with my best friend Emily and walking our dogs Abbey and Mia at Frontier Field. Back then we each raised about $150. We would go door to door asking for donations. Its amazing how 13 years later I'm still walking in Barktober Fest. Mia is a little too old to walk with me now but shes doing great for her age!

We need your help! Last year our donations broke records, can we do it again? Donate: http://lollypop.kintera.org/barktoberfest/ashley

Kribbit's Kritters Garage Sale Success!

Our garage sale was a great success! We only had it one day and we made about $400. Next year we hope to be more organized and raise even more money. Thank you to all of the people that donated items to sell. All left over items were donated to great causes around Rochester including: Lollypop Farm, womens shelters, and GoodWill.

My goal this year for Barktober Fest is to raise $3,000! Last year was the first year I signed up with a team and I ended up raising $2,474.75 and was the #3 top fundraiser. This year I'm hoping to be the #2 top fundraiser. Our team is having a garage sale on August 20th but we are going to have to think of some creative ways to raise money if we are going to reach our goal. I think the competition from the other teams will be higher this year also.

Collecting Cans for Bfest

Thats what $200 in cans looks like!

Part of the secret to my success last year for Barktober Fest was collecting cans. It sounds ridiculous but it does actually add up. At least $600 of my total last year came from cans. Now I did have a connection and the recycling center that would let me collect cans there but some of just came from my house, friends, and my office. Don't get me wrong returning the cans at times was really gross but people can be more willing to give up their recycling then money sometimes.

I've started early this year collecting cans. Right now its just from a few friends, my office, my moms office and home but it does add up quick. I returned $17 worth of cans the other night. I hope this year to be the #1 Barktober Fest individual fundraiser but the competition is steep!
