As a group, we felt that the best way to reach out to the community of Indiana Student University is through flyers. We will have various areas where we will post these flyers in order to get the best turnout for our charity drive. The flyer we decided to make is visual and appealing to the eye. Our flyer includes our school's name and the title “Hurricane Relief” which immediately allow those who are reading the flyer to know the topic of our charity drive. We included the date, time, and place that the occasion will be taking place so there is no confusion of the event hours. In addition, there are pictures of some of the items we are hoping to receive from those who are donating to us. However, we did not include a list of the items because we do not want to limit the participation of donators. Some people may not be capable of providing the items we were hoping for, but we still want them to be involved and donate what they can. This is why our caption says, “Everyone can donate, nothing …show more content…
The reason why our logo is a cross because we want it to be obvious that we are working with The American Red Cross. Donors will know that we are not only doing this event for a class but for better reasons. This text on the flyer says, “Indiana State University gives back with a charity drive. All items will be taken to The American Red Cross and given to hurricane victims.” Our ultimate goal is to help as many people as we can. Another quote on the flyer is an inspirational quote by Jim Rohn that says, “One person caring about another represents life’s GREATEST value.” Not only are we wanting to help those individuals impacted by any of the three hurricanes, we also want to help bring the campus together. The following quote implies this goal by saying, “join us, share your voice, and help support victims of the three recent hurricanes. You can inspire and motivate others to get involved and potentially save a
St. Jude’s target for marketing fundraising is far larger than most charities. Their target; preschoolers, professionals, 8th graders and 80 year olds, television, radio, local drives, school drives, trike-a-thons, math-a-thons, local, county, state and national events. Some of the big ones that you may be familiar with; the “Dream Home Giveaway”, the “Thanks and Giving Campaign” and the radio-a-thon “Country Cares”. Because of last year’s St. Jude’s NFL event, 18% of American’s said they planned to support St. Jude’s “Thanks and Giving Campaign” during this past holiday season. No opportunity is turned away.
The idea that I am currently working on is recreating the Helping Hampers project mentioned above due to the large impact it has on multiple families. The hampers contain around 3 months of food and cleaning supplies in addition to presents for each family member. This project connects CKI here to a Key Club in Centennial to its feeder junior high schools which is what makes it great. CKI organizes the dates, delivery and boxes, while the collection of items occurs in high school ( I am planning with Centennial High School right now). And then, the hampers are delivered to junior high schools.
The weaknesses of the Coastal Bend Day of Giving entails the alienation of donors that do not use the computer or are uncomfortable with placing their card information online. In addition to the above weakness, donors cannot see how their contributions helps their particular nonprofit that received their donations. This can deter previous donors from participating in the future. Another weakness relates to the lack of social interactions with donors within the current social media sites. Engagement is key in social media marketing to increase word of mouth communications on the charity
Prior to taking the plunge I was not aware that even with government programs there is still a need for pantries in our local area. This brings a very large challenge to my educational environment. I will need to find out which students will require this need to be addressed. As a classroom teacher, I will need to bring awareness to the students that do not have this need that a part of their role in our community is to help those in need. This can be done through volunteering and donations.
The posters created for the “Penny Wars” projects were successful in spreading awareness, the total money raised from the “Penny Wars” was $181.70. Five out Six group members made either a poster or flyers, I spent approximately 30 minutes prior to school and all during homeroom to hang up flyers throughout the hallways. Although I did not participate as much as I wish I did during the “Penny Wars”, I am glad it was successful. Activities such as collecting jars or going class to class checking on the amount of money raised so far were done without my knowledge, therefore eliminating my opportunity to participate in such actions. Two people went to Ac Moore to purchase all supplies needed such as jars and decorations but, again I was unable
I'm raising money for an underfunded K-8 charter school in Philadelphia called the Cornerstone Christian Academy, and I'd like to invite you to join me in my efforts. Cornerstone provides a safe and nurturing learning environment for students who often come from low income, at risk neighborhoods. It is an organization that I think really deserves our support. If you would like to donate to the students of Cornerstone or simply want to learn more about the cause, click the link listed below to see my fundraising page on the Cornerstone Christian Academy website. The smallest of donations can make a huge
In the past two years, I've had the privilege of volunteering at the "Ready for School" event at Faith Lutheran Church in Arlington Heights. Ready for School, or more commonly known as "Backpack Day", is an event where Arlington Heights school districts and other community members help fund to purchase school supplies for under privileged students in Arlington Heights. In addition, on the day of the event there are multiple community services, such as the police and fire departments, the library and park district in attendance to help families understand the resources they offer. The numbers of families and students that attend increase each year, this year with over 600 backpacks.
College students and others can enhance the agency’s program by following my experience and volunteering and educating themselves on behavioral health. Raising money to provide resources needed to help the Cone Health team and their patients fight their issues would also substantially aide the program. Some of my top suggestions for fundraisers include a car wash on the weekend, a bake sale in the midst of a long-awaited sporting event, and selling bracelets that bring light to specific behavioral illnesses. (i feel as though something should be added to transition from this paragraph to the closing
As vice president of my school's NHS chapter, I am an advocate for good causes. Our service project this year is a substantial charitable endeavor. In 1996, a fellow NHS member and friend lost a sibling to SIDS. To assist his family's fight for a cure, our chapter initiated a fundraiser. Tee-shirt sales raised thousands of dollars; a ceremony at a football game advertised our cause to the community; our slogan “Big Steps for Baby Steps” galvanized the school; a partnership with the CJ Foundation for SIDS legitimized our efforts with sponsors. Each of the school's clubs and teams has dedicated itself to the cause. A 5k in May is our culminating event. Uniting an entire school and community behind such a worthy cause is gratifying. The other
We felt there was a huge urgency to help then and in the future. We started to act on the matter along with help from our fellow peers in the Honors College at North Campus in order to help those affected by Hurricane Irma. We are in the process of collecting items such as non perishable foods, clothing, textbooks, diapers, etc.. In addition, we are planning to create an encouraging video with the students and staff in the Honors College at North Campus to express kindness, love, hope, and encouragement. We want to send a warm and impactful message from
I want my project to hopefully lower the number of men and women on campus that feel alone. I want their friends to have the tools to help them, and give them tools to help themselves escape unhealthy relationships. So, my goal is to explore different avenues on campus and off through which victims can get help, and in order to accomplish my goal I am going to launch a flyer campaign. That way, the information gets out there as much as possible. Hopefully, people will see it and take the information home with them, or perhaps see their relationship in the information given. If that were to happen, they could use the resources to help themselves, or maybe their friends would see it and start the process of helping that
This upcoming month Marist College will be hosting a campaign in partnership with the American Red Cross. Our objective for this campaign is to raise awareness and willingness in students to donate blood. Our campaign is hoping to aim for between two thousand to three thousand individuals to donate blood. While conducting this campaign, our primary audience will be the students of Marist College while our secondary audience will be faculty and staff.
Purpose: To inform my audience that there are kids out there that need our help and to have the audience persuade to donating.
On Monday, October 17th I volunteered to help the American Red Cross and other organizations at Purnell Swett High School. I was directed to a woman named Priscilla who oversaw a portion of the outdoor area. Our group was quite diverse. It consisted of young high school and college students, middle-aged parents, some senior citizens, and even a girl who appeared to be no more than nine years old. Everyone was in good spirits despite the recent tragedy. Our task seemed to be simple enough, however, we would soon discover it was going to take more planning. We were assigned to the rear of the school where we would sort through various bags and boxes of donations. Priscilla directed some of us to carry items to different rooms based on their size and whether the clothes were designed more males or females, children or adults. As organized piles began to form, these volunteers posted signs indicating the sizes in those piles. Priscilla asked a different group to take the flat boxes and fold and tape them to allow packing of the clothes. Another set of people were instructed to write the names of the recipients on the boxes. The final group, which later consisted of those who completed their share of the work already, was assigned to fill the boxes with appropriate items and seal them for delivery.
Specific purpose: To inform the audience what the Salvation Army does exactly and who they benefit
