| Summary of project | This is a project we started last year and did it again this year. We sold candy grams to students the week before valentine's day for $1/candygram. Then on Valentine's Day we put the messages people wrote into mailboxes at the Medical School. The money we raised this year went into our cover everyone fund which will be donated at the end of the year to three primary care clinics in Detroit. |

| Lessons/suggestions | This year we ended up spending more than expected on candy for the candygrams. I would advise trying to keep the costs of the candy down so you can donate the maximum amount to whatever cause you choose. |
| ADDITIONAL COMMENTS | |
| Comments | This event has been a quick and easy way for our chapter to make $100-$150 for whatever cause we choose. It does not take too much time, and usually goes over well with students. |
