So our first fundraiser event went off with a huge success for everyone involved! A huge thank-you to all involved and to those that took time out to help and make donations. In total we were able to raise £601.50 so just over £200 for each course which is great news from the little time we had to plan.
Each and everyone who contributed to this success worked so hard and I'm glad we were all able to work so well together in such a short amount of time to get so much done. I feel the support from everyone in the university allowed us all to really work hard but also have fun with the event. It was great socializing with students from other courses as we all seem to keep separate from one another on different floors of our building. It was also nice to get to know my class a bit more and hopefully organizing the event together will open up people to push their ideas forward to the group for future fundraising events.

Through out the whole night we were all praised for our efforts and told of our success which was great to hear and seemed to keep our spirits up and inspire us. Having many students in attendance from different courses made the evening refreshing and so much fun for all there. Below is a little snippet of the fun evening we all had in the Dark room and a group of us getting ready for the event by building the horror maze.

I have always loved throwing and organizing themed events and parties as a way to express my creative flair and love of little details. This event however and being in charge of delegating jobs to people in such a short amount of time was something I found challenging at times. Being the main go to person in the group, as this was my idea and by proposing the event originally, I felt a little overwhelmed. I would love to be part of more fundraising events for my course in the future, but perhaps not in such a significant role. I feel that by planning with an extended time frame in the future, it would make organizing and dealing with the pressure of events a lot easier on everyone and more fair on people with such a busy schedule of work.
