Cindy Chang, Suntrust Marathon ~ March 2011:
Cindy Chang had a very creative mind as she began raising for GOTR-DC as a SoleMate ~ she hosted a cocktail party on a Monday night to raise money for her campaign.  Here are some of her thoughts:

“In total, I think we had 15-20 people in attendance throughout the night, so it wasn’t a huge turnout, but I think it was a good turnout for a Monday night!  A lot of people who couldn’t make it and/or do not live in the area also just donated online, and all online donations received before the happy hour were included in the raffle.  I just checked, and one of my friends abroad just donated, so my total is now $951, including the offline donations from the happy hour.  Oh, I think part of what made people donate more at the happy hour was that I used my iPhone so that people could donate with their credit cards still.
