The total budget for the event was $360.00. This was well under the estimate of over $500.00. This was a result of the food and supplies being provided by the coaching staff. For this cost, we not only got the food and supplies, but posters, decorations, and covers for the tables. The only additional cost was for the cook and the use of his propane fryer, which was supplied by Til’s Grill. Also, the costs of printing the posters and the receipt books were lower than estimated which resulted in a great savings. Meal pre-sales brought in a total of $340.00. This was lower than the estimated total of $810.00. That was because of the “No Food Sales” rule at the high school before 4:00 pm. We could not guarantee that everyone placing a pre-order would receive their food prior to their scheduled departure times. In total the profit of the event was $1485.00 in donations. This total made the event come in under our budget, but over our own expectations.
