After we rushed to make our buttons in our 2-week period, we sent the button machine around to anyone who requested it.

Team 237 also has a Badge-A- Mint. From what I know we're on our second one (wore out the first one). I can't even count the numbers of buttons let alone the HP printer cartriges we've also gone through. When ever someone doesn't have something to do they break out the Badge-A-Mint. Also as a fundraiser we cut out all the circles of paper and put out crayons and colored pencils and allow children to design they're own button for a dollar. Our team members just assemble the buttons when they're done. We've done this at the local mall, town functions (October Fest, Dare Day, ect.), local car shows, and such. You won't believe how much of a hit it is for children to make they're own and the publicity your team recieves.
