Project Description:
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization that aims to fulfill the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to give them hope and strength. However, carrying out such activities requires significant financial resources, and the organization depends on donations from individuals and institutions to continue its work on a larger scale.
To support the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Team Achievers organized an 8-Ball Pool Game Night on March 21, 2023, at TailGators in Nepean, Ottawa. The project aimed to raise at least $1,000 as a donation to the charity, while also raising awareness about the organization’s mission and the importance of supporting underprivileged members of society. The project management experience gained by the team members through this project could be valuable for their future careers.
The event was a success, and the group managed to raise about 2615 CAD as a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The funds raised would go a long way in fulfilling the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions and giving them hope and strength. The project was a great learning experience for the team members, and they felt fulfilled knowing that their efforts would make a positive impact on the community.
