For the first time in a long time I signed up to have a booth at a local function called Taste of Ahwatukee. Rarely, do I ever sign up for much but this was a special occasion that was for a good cause.
Anyways, I going to keep this blog short and simple. The event was to raise money to build homes in Mexico. A lot of our baseball kids go down every summer and build five or six homes for some people in need. I think last year they raised $17,000 and hopefully they raised more this year.
Well, when I first started to set up I was really unsure what to expect. I noticed a lot of elderly people walking around and the first thing I thought of was.. not our target market.
To put a long story short, once the event started the place got packed with all kinds of people and we probably spoke with ten different families about what we offer at The BAR. With all the different packages that we offer we can pretty much accommodate every one's budget and needs.
I even came across a really great couple that remembered me from the Foothills Athletic Club back in the day. We chatted for quite some time and I think they will be in next week to give us a go. Great people and perfect for the BAR; they'll be great members.
Anyway, the booth cost me about $150 (went to a good cause) and I made probably ten different leads for training or just help with fitness. All in all it was a good event for the BAR.
I think I'll sign up for more community based events. I realized there are a ton of people in our community that need to know about us and I'd like to know more about them!
