I’d love to get her contact info as well As a fellow young Torontonian I’m sure we could do a lot together.

You know, that is absolutely fucking incredible.

I will soon be a Torontonian again – I’d be totally into helping with future events. Good on you, Cassandra.

That’s really amazing. I wish I had been that motivated about ANYTHING at that age. (Wow I sound old. I’m not, 23 is not old!) Go you! I’m so impressed.

That is a brilliant fund raiser.

EDIT: Er, we sold the baked goods, not our baked asses. Embarassing sentence structure ahoy.

The $2000 felt small, but we had to do so much work to get it. We threw a party in a friends fathers resturants basement and had a cover fee. Someone brought guitar hero, we had a no alcohol rule, and we danced the night away for feminism! We got a free guest speaker for our school instead of a costly one, baked our asses off and sold them, and begged our parents for forwards on our allowance. We gave away four $500 prizes that went towards a charity of their choice or towards education. I want to do it again next year for sure.

I love hearing this kind of news! $2000 is no small accomplishment!

This is the sort of thing that warms the cockles of my heart. I don’t know exactly what a cockle is, and whether it is problematic to reference having them, but the Cassandras of the world make me very confident about the future of feminism.
