Local Yogurt Fundraiser!

As an advocate on Duke’s campus for the She’s My Sister Summer Bike Tour, I was able to start raising funds and awareness just this past Wednesday night! A popular frozen yogurt shop close to campus called Local Yogurt agreed to host a day for She’s My Sister! 20% of the entire day’s proceeds are helping us reach our goal of raising $500,000 to help 50,000 women and children in the DRC. Hopefully this will be the first of quite a few events at Duke, bringing the body of Christ together to lift up our sisters who need our help (there’s a new location of local yogurt opening even closer to campus very soon, event ideas are brewing!). “Do all you can for everyone who deserves your help. Don’t tell your neighbor to come back tomorrow, if you can help today.” Proverbs 3:27-28

In order to help our neighbors in the DRC, I wanted this event to bring in as many people as possible in order to spread the word, and also raise as much funds as possible from the day’s proceeds. After some brainstorming with friends, I decided that an a cappella concert would be perfect! A good friend of mine, Krista Kucheman, is a member of Duke’s premier women’s a cappella group called Deja Blue, and she quickly agreed to help out. At 7:30 we heard these lovely ladies hit some sweet notes while the audience enjoyed the sweet treat of frozen yogurt. All for She’s My Sister!

The next event at Duke is still in the idea generation stage, but rumor has it that it may involve the new location of Local Yogurt on Erwin Drive, and some hard working members of the Duke tri-athlon club on stationary bikes!

So excited about the many ways we can help these women and children in the DRC!

Keep those wheels turning everyone!
