ALLISON REIMSCHUSSEL
TONG (Tacos on Northgate) is a fundraising event for Maggies. We cook tacos at the College Station Bar district. When people are hitting the town they typically crave some tacos and so we hit big in sales. All semester we work towards coordinating the event and getting supplies for free or cheap. I made a video to market the event. Also, set up a studio to cover a popular song for the video.

Most organizations have profit shares with local restaurants to raise money. Student's get probably three invites on Facebook a week for profit shares. They are wildly looked over and you don't really raise all that much money.
This time when creating the event I tried a different approach. I wanted this to be the motherload of all profit shares. The World's Largest Profit Share. I uploaded very authentic videos on the event page launching the mission. Friends ate this up. I even had motivational notes at the restaurant for attendees. It was successful. Of course, I don't know if it was the world's largest, but I do know we had Newk's Eatery's largest profit share. We left with 235.00 dollars. A normal profit share will bring in about 50 dollars.
