Meijer: GrantOn October 31st, NPBid went on a business trip to Meijer to try to acquire a grant to get athletic apparel for our main project of an online auction. We had to fill out and submit many different forms in this process. We created a proposal for this to present to the Customer Service area at Meijer. Below is two of our group members presenting our proposal to turn in to apply for a grant. Currently, we are waiting to see if our proposal will be voided or accepted. We are hoping for the best, but are grateful for the opportunity Meijer has given us. Distributing the GoodsThe distribution process for Guedel Design was a tricky one. First, we went to Mr. Guedel's estate where we got three giant boxes that were put into my car and a fellow NPBidder's. We had the items to be picked up during the school day on a Friday. Some people picked up their items during this day, but many didn't making it a problematic odyssey for our group. I went out of my free time to get the items to the customers as quickly as possible. I went to many kids practices and events all over the school district to distribute the items. Finally, a week ago we had all of the items picked up. A total of eighty-nine items have been happily delivered to teachers, students and members of the community. Thank you to Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Ginther for helping our group out with our distribution process by allowing us and helping us hand out the items in the main office. Lastly, I would like to help those who bought items with out partnership with Guedel because of the customer's we raised $354.30 for Riley Children's hospital. Build A Bear Grant (UnBEARlievable)Recently, we have applied for a Build-A-Bear grant for 24 bears that we can give to the children at Riley. We feel like with this grant we can deliver these bears to motivate us further to help the hospital and to put a smile on the children's faces. Our goal is to help out Riley in anyway we can and we are hopeful to get this grant to help out the children at Riley even more. Coming Soon...We are planning on finding the right website for us in the near future. We have narrowed it down to a couple websites and are still researching to find the right one for our auction website. We have many items coming in and are waiting for many responses from colleges and Universities. We are looking forward to what is to come with NPBid. NPBid is on the come up and ready to raise more money for Riley.
