A Game Changer for Girl Scout Fundraisers: Shanell’s Story

At the heart of Girl Scout Troop 3306 in Indiana is a vibrant community of young scouts engaged in exciting activities and important fundraisers. Shanell Dominy, a dedicated troop leader assistant, has been instrumental in harnessing the power of Cheddar Up to streamline their fundraising efforts, particularly their unique Easter egg event.

Shanell’s journey with the troop began when her oldest daughter joined. Over the years, the troop has remained active and cohesive, participating annually in traditional Girl Scout cookie sales and other product fundraisers. Their standout event, however, is the Easter fundraiser. Every spring, families can purchase eggs filled with treats, which the girls then secretly distribute in buyers’ yards the night before Easter, creating magical mornings for countless children.

Ease of Use

Shanell appreciates Cheddar Up’s comprehensive capabilities, from creating discount codes to handling financial transactions seamlessly. The platform’s flexibility allows her to focus on the fun and community-building aspects of troop activities, rather than getting bogged down by administrative tasks.

Reflecting on her experience, Shanell notes that Cheddar Up is an invaluable tool for anyone managing community fundraisers or events. It’s clear that for Troop 3306, Cheddar Up isn’t just a platform for transactions; it’s a key player in fostering a sense of community and enabling memorable experiences for the girls and their families.

Building Community

She emphasizes that their activities focus on having fun and learning, with a variety of experiences like ice skating, roller skating, and skiing. They also incorporate educational elements through different themed journeys, adding depth to their fun activities. This creates a rich, enjoyable environment where the scouts not only participate in exciting events but also grow and learn together.
