Cassidy and Lina crafted a fundraising blueprint, selling dinner boxes to raise funds and ensure all qualifying members could attend. The project aimed to raise funds, develop skills, and strengthen community bonds. Lina emphasized the significance of community support and the memories created. Cassidy highlighted the leadership and communication skills gained. The planning phase involved setting clear goals and assigning key roles.
