Brief Description: For my 20% project is
hosting a Color Run to raise money for March For Dimes.
Overview of Project Proposal
1) Project Objective: My objective is to
raise $500-$1,000 for March for Dimes. I am hoping to host the color run in
March. I also want to help people who have children born prematurely. So, I
thought that raising money for March for Dimes would be the perfect solution
for this.
2) Project Rationale: I have chosen to
do a color run raising money for March for Dimes because, I have always wanted
to a fun fundraiser for something. I chose March for Dimes because; my brother
was born with water in his lungs. He almost didn’t survive, but he thankfully
did. I began seeing commercials on TV about March for dimes, and seeing how bad
my brother could have been born. He was one of the children who got “lucky”,
while being born unstable. So, I began research about charity fundraisers, but
I could never get to the point to do the actual event. Now however, this
project is influencing me to finish this fundraiser activity I have wanted to
do since June. So, I have decided to do this fundraiser for March for Dimes to
finally do something great for the community, and people all over the country.
