snap raise gives 80% which is one of the highest returns in the industry, this will be what we use.
students want to sell cookie dough and Brad is NOT interested in this but would support this if out voted by the students :) Difficulty in storage of product and distribution would take a lot of coordinating.
Mentors are highly needed, adults to support the students in their roles (props etc) Please consider your strengths and knowledge in all forms (nutrition, artistic ability, organization, etc)
