Two hundred thousand

Up in the air

We’ve set our goal

We’ll make it there

 

But though the money is important

The money is not all

There’s a lot more meaning

Behind Charity Ball

 

We do what we do

For feeling, for love

For the community we believe in

To raise this community above

 

We do what we do

To see a smile on a face

As it picks out a pattern

And wins the card race

 

We do what we do

For laughter, for fun

We make challenges to each other

That we can’t be outdone

 

We do what we do

To see spirit show

We watch as the flames

Of excitement grow

 

We do what we do

To stand in a crowd

With a lump in our throat

As they begin to speak aloud

 

Hushed, we wait

And as we stand there we know

That what we did this year

Made a difference that will show

We will proudly hold up a check for $200,000 on December 8th.

 

But after that day, it won’t be the amount on that check that I remember. I’ll remember the laughs of the IGNITE members I had the chance to form friendships with. I’ll remember the kindness of everyone I called excitedly about Charity Ball. I’ll remember the bonds I formed with the other members of Enloe Student Council.

After December 8th, I won’t remember the amount of money we put on that check. I’ll remember the community that made it all a reality.
