All in the Spirit of Fun and Money

Kirkhaven held a unique staff fundraiser to help support the resident households. The concept was fairly simple. Give staff the opportunity to bid on the privilege of throwing a creme pie in the face of another employee of their choice.

The highest bidder for each of the selected staff "guinea pigs" won the opportunity. Who knew this would garner such interest? I couldn't imagine why anyone would pay good money to shove a pie in my face or anyone else's for that matter. But pay they did!

Each of the selected victims had an "evil" alias attached to their mug shot to encourage solicitation of bids over a 2 week period. On the day of reckoning, all the evil victims were summed to the courtyard where staff gathered to cheer and jeer as one by one each came face to face with their highest bidder yielding a pie tin full of whipped creme.

Personally, I can honestly say I have never had a pie thrust into my face before and it was an eerie feeling before, during and after the pie-slam.

The staff and residents had a blast with it and we raised a ton of good morale and a little extra cash. It all goes to show that we will stop at nothing when it's all in the spirit of fun and money!
