  5. Pre-Yard sale • Over a two month period I helped collect items from people wishing to donate to the yard sale every Sunday for about 5 hours • We would meet at the Long and Foster reality office where we would store various items that were dropped off • I would unpack and lift the items to their designated location in the storage facility

  6. Event • De-Clutter for the Divineys yard sale was held on April 9, 2011 at the Ashburn Village community center • The main aspect of the event was the yard sale itself • There was also food, music, and raffles which were all donated to help the cause

  7. My Role • I arrived at the yard sale at 6 a.m. to help setup • The event began at 9 a.m. in which I was responsible for the electronics booth where I sold various items ranging from Xbox’s to T.V.’s • At the closing of the event around 2 o'clock I help clean up and load back up the shipping truck that was used to transport the items for sale

  8. Outcome • The event was a huge success • Thousands of dollars were raised from the proceeds, which went directly to Ryan Diviney’s medical bills and treatment

Event Details • This event was held in Ashburn, VA at the Briar Woods vs. Broad Run football game • The main campaign launched was through the sale of white out t-shirts, which said Team Diviney on the back • The game was held on September 2, 2011 at Briar Woods High School • This game is a rivalry game between who is the best school in Ashburn, Virginia
