Northwood’s first CARE sale of the year was a great success. Everyone was there to support CARE in its mission to raise money for good causes this school year.
The sale consisted of treats such as cookies; homemade dog treats made by Will Wong ’27 and Mrs. Wint; bottled beverages such as Gatorade, Propel, water, Arnold Palmers; and Northwood-branded cowbells as noisemakers to cheer on the Northwood Soccer team.

During this event, CARE raised nearly $100, which will be used later this year to help fund future initiatives. It will be used to help support funding for the Holidays, as well as purchase Valentine’s Day cards and treats for the residents of the local nursing home. This event will greatly expand and help publicize Northwood’s traditions.
“We felt the sale was a great success because it provided the soccer spectators with some low-cost drinks and treats while also helping CARE rebuild its funds,” Mrs. Wint, CARE’s faculty advisor, said. Since this was a great success for CARE, the club will continue to create events like this one throughout the year.
“Bake sales are just one of many fundraisers we will have this year,” Ms. Wint said. “We like to do fundraisers where the giver gets something in return besides just donating to a good cause.” She said there will be many more fundraisers to happen, and this one was just the start. For example, later this month, CARE will be selling candygrams for Halloween. Students and Faculty can purchase bags of candy with a little card, and CARE will deliver them to its recipients.
This has been a great event for the Northwood Community, and there will be many more of these events in the future.
