What we do:
Project Fundraising is responsible for raising most of the funds for the chapter's activities and beneficiaries. At least 1 major fundraising event is held each semesters. So far, we've held car-washes, haunted houses/ escape rooms, bazaars. And of course we are open to new ideas from you! We also sell a variety of items throughout the year outside of the major events, this includes key chains, snack packs, makeup sets, ice pops and dartboards. Again, new ideas are always welcome!
Apart from raising funds, Project Fundraising also liaises with external organisations and designs publicity posters.
"Through these events, the satisfaction of seeing our hard work pay off brings us closer together. For we know that we are indirectly giving the less-fortunate individuals in society a helping hand." Would you be a honey and donate us some money?” - not sure if we want to keep this - since we have a senior's review below already?
Frequency:
Twice a year
A senior's review:
Taking part in Project Fundraising has allowed me to try out different business ideas while contributing to a good cause at the same time! It was a fruitful experience planning for this event as I became more outspoken and got out of my comfort zone! I would strongly recommend you to take up this project! Join fundraising if you like to plan fun events!
The proceeds from the fundraising event are channelled to fund the other projects in Red Cross, so it is definitely a meaningful challenge. Through fundraising, you have the opportunity to explore various fundraising ideas during event planning, and there are so many different roles you can apply for (see below) which lets you experience different facets behind a fundraising event! Throughout the planning and execution of event,you will get to bond with the rest of the committee members 😀You can meet new people who are passionate about contributing back to the community. You can step out of your comfort zone, take on leadership positions and learn new skills!
