What We Propose to Do

As students, there is a limit as to what we can accomplish. Even with that in mind, we are dedicated to finding a way to help out entities such as Half the Sky to raise funds and in turn, help the children.

One way we propose to help out this organization is to ask the students of our school, Drexel University, to help participate in a Chinese cultural festival that will celebrate the wonderful Chinese culture while also educating the student body about this issue of Chinese orphans. There have been stories of other festivals being held that have successfully raised funds for their particular topics. For example, there was the a school in Michigan that held a Broadway Film Festival to raise money for theater renovations. There was also a Wine Festival held by a town in Arizona to raise money for holiday lights to be strewn across town in December. We hope to mirror these examples successes.

If not a festival, we also want to try to host a walk-a-thon to get students out exercising for a good cause. These brings students together in a community-bonding way where everyone feels like that are together fighting for a cause. Many walk-a-thons are held for many different causes such as the Amer-a-thon and the Avon Walk for Cancer.
