SRS sold $375,000 in tickets. All tickets were paid for in cash.

During the fiscal year, SRS received $60,000 in new donor pledges and collected 75% of those pledges. SRS also collected 60% of the outstanding pledges from the previous fiscal year. Based on past experience, SRS expects that none of the remaining outstanding pledges from the prior fiscal year will be collected.
