To support Australia’s 2020 bush fire relief efforts, AASuccess students and mentors worked together to create a fundraising campaign in the form of bingo boards. All proceeds from the fundraising campaign went towards the adoption of koalas whose homes were destroyed by the fires.
Key Members: AASuccess students worked together to come up with a fundraising goal, bingo board idea, and action items to share the campaign with friends and family. AASuccess matched the student’s donations 1-1.
Goal: The goal of this project was to adopt as many Koalas as we could in support of the WWF Australia Bushfire Emergency Fund.
How: On various social media platforms, all participants posted pictures of a bingo board that had donation values on each square. They then collected the donations from their audience, while attempting to fill out as much of the board as they could. After collecting the generous donations from friends of the AASuccess community, the money was used to both adopt displaced koala bears, as well as to donate to the WWF Australia Bushfire Emergency Fund.
Result-To-Date: After a month of fundraising via social media, the AASuccess family was able to adopt five koala bears, as well as donate $360 to the WWF Australia Bushfire Emergency Fund. Check out their adoption certificates!
