Pre-Challenge 9 (Part 2) - All About The Coupons!

[The full entry on RUSH Challenge #9 will be up by Sunday evening... It'a pretty long entry with lots of pics, videos and text to compose, so give the webmaster some time ok? In the meantime, here's a short entry on our coupon sales]

Friday night was spent with a lot of counting.... COUNTING COUNTING COUNTING... Counting what you ask? Well, we were counting and finalising the coupon sales that our team have achieved so far.... And as the coupon sales leader in my team, it was my main responsibility to look after the overall figures - making sure that we do well in coupon sales because every booklet that we sell will earn us 50 points!

To be honest, we had initially set a team target of RM 5,000.00 - that's a total of 100 booklets... At first it seemed quite challenging, but within a week with some support from all of our friends and especially our Rose, Nat who is our team's greatest contribution collector - we managed to hit the target! And after an initial discussion with our teammates and Osman, we decided to double our target... At first the figure of RM 10,000.00 seemed quite impossible...

But within the following week, we were quite close to that figure... And soon we did manage to hit it, thanks to some major contributions - a big one came from a friend of KK and the twins, Chee Siong who graciously donated RM 1,000.00 towards Mercy Malaysia. Osman and Kak Nita also helped to get some coupon sales from Menara Axis, while our team concentrated on sales inside Curve and from other personal friends and contacts. The twins, Kelvin & Alvin and Darren too helped with the coupons sales, and actually gratitude must be given to everyone whom have helped us directly or indirectly in the coupon sales, coz without you we couldn't have achieved our 2nd target! You guys know who you are, alright? ;)

We then decided to do what we really thought was previously unreachable... We decide to aim for RM 15,000.00 in total coupon sales by Friday the 13th... And with help from friends at the gym yesterday night (we were at about 289 when I entered the Curve) but within a short period of one hour we soon sold our 300th booklet and soon went over our third revised target of RM 15,000.00! Great job team!

I was informed previously that during last year's Miracle event held inside Cineleisure, they managed to raise about RM 15,000.00 overall for charity... And for our team to be able to top that amount ourselves was simply unexpected! We'd like to thank everyone whom have made this achievement possible... You guys and gals know who you are!

At the final RUSH Challenge 9 at Uptown on Saturday, all teams were required to submit their team passport for points tabulation... And as the team leader of The RATTs, I'm proud to announce that with the help and support of so many friends throughout the past few weeks, we managed to sell a total of 313 Miracle Coupon booklets. That my friends, is a face value of RM 15,650.00 raised for charity!!!

Go RATTs Go! UUURRRSSSHHHHH!!
