We got up early this past Saturday morning - earlier than most of us do for work during the week - and held ourselves a good ol' fashioned pancake breakfast, quite possibly making this one of our most traditional fundraisers to date.

Our guerrilla advertising maneuvers of holding these signs in front of Knollwood Mall and on Highway 7 drew in some traffic we weren't expecting, like a St. Louis Park police officer and some random Saturday morning mall walkers.

The Applebee's in St. Louis Park was a very wonderful and gracious host, showing our team the ropes very easily and allowing our pancake breakfast to flow very smoothly. Thanks to Todd the manager and his kitchen staff, we raised almost $300 in just two hours.

We're still accepting donations for our Silent Auction/final fundraiser that's taking place in just a couple of weeks. Read here for more details!

The lacoste shoes as well as the baby phat shoes found their market only after the success of their brands where as the prada shoes as well as the diesel shoes created their brand value in shoes first.
