Fruit Cup

What we had to do for our part of the Silent Auction was we were in charge of creating a healthy fruit cup for 300 people.

Our Job

What we did first for this project was email Larry Millard from Easter Seals.

We had to set up a meeting with him about the event, we went and met with him to talk

about how many people were going to be there and what it was about.

Decided which fruit would be most cost effective for 300 people.

Our fruit we chose was Cantaloupe, Grapes, Blueberries, Oranges, and Kiwi

Step one

Email Larry about the exact amount of fruit cups we would need.

Once that is sent set up what time and where the drop off is going to be.

Step Two

What had to be done the day of the event was we had someone be at the school waiting for

Larry to drop off the items. Next, we had to scoop and dish out 300 cups

of fruit for the event. The final step we had to do for this event was

pass out the fruit cups to everyone that wanted one.

Day of the event

We chose to make fruit cups for the following reasons

Promotes healthy eating habitsHelps decrease the risks of

childhood obesityIt was a fun way for children to eat

their fruit. It might have allowed children to try

new fruit that they never had before.

Why we chose this topic

Promote healthy eating habitsAllow parents and children to enjoy a healthy,

easy and cheap food that is good for you. To allow families to enjoy themselves and not

have to worry about what they have to make when they get home.

Decrease the risks of childhood obesity with the future generation .

Our Goals

Allows children and parents to have quality bonding time that may not allows happen

Gives children a chance to see healthy eating habits and understand what healthy foods are

if they don’t know. Children and parents can interact with other

familiesParents can interact with teachers about their

children Allows parents to increase the chances of

healthy foods in their households.

Benefits of this event

For my group the cost of this was nothing thanks to the education club.

Each fruit cup was $.60 Each (4oz) cup was $.05

So one fruit cup was only $.65

*The total amount it cost for all the fruit cups was $195.00 to feed 3oo people.*
