The picture above represents the number of balloon bouquet orders we have received so far for our fundraiser.
Let's crunch some numbers.
The Good
- 70 * $10 = $700
- 44 * $15 = $660
- Total potentially fundraised = $1360 (minus cost of balloons, see below)
The Concerning
- 70 * 4 = 280 balloons
- 44 * 4 = 176 balloons
- Number of orders we've received = 77
- Therefore, 456 balloons need to be delivered to 77 different places by graduation morning
- Number of Party City locations that are aware we're about to make a huge balloon order = ??
The Terrifying
- Number of cars Chris V told me are ready to work this event Saturday morning = 11
- Number of bouquets (70 + 44)/Number of cars = Each car needs to transport ~ 10 bouquets
- However... 10 bouquets = 40 balloons
- You can't drive with 40 balloons in your car.
I think two things:
- If we haven't already done so, we need to get Party City in the loop. I will make this call if I have to. But we need to decide for solid when we're going to meet at their locations to create the bouquets and begin delivery.
- I'm not sure 11 cars are going to cut it. If you can, please get in touch with Chris or Cory.
We're taking in a lot of money, and promising we can follow through.
I don't sleep much this week.
