As you are well aware, The Barefoot Walk is near and dear to our families’ heart, and for many reasons. Here are just a few. 1. All funds raised by the children go directly to the cause. 2. South Secondary School students run the event. They go out and find corporate sponsor to fund the event. This ensures all funds raised go directly to the cause. 3. If you sponsor $20 or more, you get a tax receipt. 4. You can choose where the funds go, even right here in our own backyard, London, Ontario. 5. This encourages children to give back to the world, not just their city. 6. It instils self-confidence that one child can truly make a difference and that age has no meaning to making change happen. 7. Gives others who have a lot less than us a roof,
If we try our best to ensure that the child has a happy time at our setting, it helps their confidence and self-esteem. They will want to take part and socialise. They enjoy what they are doing when they come to us and want to take part in what we offer for them. As they grow up they will want to go to school and have a good education and then go on to get a good job and have a good quality of life.
Children who are successful at this stage feel capable and able to lead others. Those who fail to acquire these skills are left with a sense of guilt, self-doubt, and lack of

Most of the time we have a small part of the school participating in fundraisers, but when the students create the fundraisers a larger amount of students participate. Now, you don’t want have a boring fundraiser like selling candles, so the SCA creates fundraisers like movie night and penny wars. The penny wars allows the student body and faculty to donate money to a container of their choice. Each container has a college or university on them and the people choose which one they like the most. Next, movie night is fundraiser where we don’t raise money from the movie, but from the food sales. Since we can’t charge someone to watch the movie, we can create a food stand for people to get food
One of the initiatives that I am proud of is Kiducation. This is my drive to raise money to buy school supplies for underprivileged schoolkids in India. When I was in India I often saw kids whose parents lived below the poverty line (less than a dollar a day) walking to school with any supplies with them, mostly because they couldn’t afford basics like books, pencils and more often than not geometry cases. I also observed how we here in Canada often take these things for granted. Hence, Kiducation was born, both to raise awareness about every day third
The festival had been getting aids and donations from some sources but they are not suitable to be relied on. With a permanent and strong sponsor, the festival would receive higher revenues and would be able to offer more shows and entertainment for the adults and youngsters. More entertainment would increase the number of attendees and also spread the word of mouth across the country. However, this alternative has a limited impact as it would increase the revenue but not affect the other things severely. The sponsors can also help resolve the issue of residence or staying for the attendees of the festival.
– Making a Positive Contribution so that they engage in decision-making, support their community and environment, engage in law-abiding and positive behaviour in and out of school, develop positive relationships, choose not to bully and discriminate, develop self-confidence, successfully deal with significant life changes and challenges and develop enterprising behaviour.
This is the largest fundraiser of the year provide scholarships for students to go to camp.
An event that I started was the Trick-or-Treat for Cans not Sweets. It’s an activity where we, dressed in their Halloween costumes, go out in the neighborhood and ask for canned food donations. Incentives of Starbucks gift cards motivated more club members to attend, but I
For the last week, I’ve been walking around barefoot. Not too many different things have happened because of it. I’ve only gotten a few comments on it, but the most common thing I got was the dirty looks. The worst part of it was going to the bathroom. Oh, the looks I got then... I got asked by a few teachers like people about it. The only students that asked already knew that it was for this class.
being sponsored at the event, that charity would get a good sum of money. Not only do charities
Barefoot on the Lawn is an annual event that aims to raise money for Alpha Chi Omega’s national philanthropy, domestic violence awareness. At the time, I was apart of Alpha Chi Omega’s 2016 pledge class, so this was the first major event I would be attending. I was excited to help out with the event, give tours of our house to guests, and get to know my sisters a little more. In particular, I got to know a junior named Paige. She brought her golden retriever puppy along with her. As we were talking, she informed me that she participates in the guide dog foundation and that she was currently in the process of training her puppy. She explained how the program works and the extensive process each trainer has to go through in order to be equipped
Specifically, I went to Country Host restaurant, Planet Dodge, Urban Clouds vapor lounge, Black Bart’s steak house, Lumberyard Brewing company, and Flag X. These business gained interest to participate in one of two ways. The bigger ones like Planet Dodge were interested on how big their emblem would be on the T-shirt. While the smaller establishments like Country Host wanted to know when the event was so they could attend and be part of the community. By gaining the help of these places I influenced them to act politically because like Bartel explains aiding in an economic way is a clear example of the democratic process (Bartel, 2013). It was with the help of the sponsors that more than half of the money raised came from to have a successful
In addition, to the money from the race they could also sell the CD 's that are produced through the P.R.O.J.E.C.T.S program along with T-shirts and other memorabilia that the organization could generate for selling. I would also consider asking local eateries to donate food to sell at the race. It would be an excellent way for the business to advertise their food and proceeds would be split between the two nonprofits.
The movie The Field of Lost Shoes, purely based off of the Battle of New Market, is both accurate and inaccurate when displaying soldiers’ lifestyle and their experiences that occurred during the Civil War. The movie is inaccurate in a way that is portrays soldiers having to leave their jobs, when they really did have jobs they had to leave. The movie is accurate in most scenes. Its accuracy proves to be correct in the scenes that women had to step in as nurses and help the wounded, soldiers leaving their loved ones, the horrible conditions that the soldiers had to fight through, and when groups of stable soldiers went to the field’s aftermath to rescue wounded soldiers and their loved ones. Overall, the movie is consistently accurate all the way through to show how the Civil War impacted the American lifestyle.
