Introducing myself!

Hello - My name is Julie and I live in California. I found this site trying to help my little sister and her synchronized ice skating team with a fundraiser. The money that we raise is to help them get to the national competition in Boston this year. There is an event set for this coming saturday the 18th but upon further investigation I am starting to worry that we are going to get taken advantage of... so i am looking for alternative ways to sell at least some of the stuff i have spent the last 3 weeks gathering for more than $0.05/lb. Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help me out here!
