Pool Charity Event

In collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Group T12 from section 310 of the MGT4209 Applied Project Management course organized a thrilling pool event with the goal of supporting children with serious medical conditions. Held at the prestigious Orange Monkey Bar & Billiards Club in City Centre, Ottawa, on July 17th, the event aimed to raise a minimum of $1000 for the foundation.

The venue provided six pool tables and ample space to create an engaging and memorable experience for all participants. To fund the event, a registration fee of 15 CAD was implemented, and a significant portion of the funding was secured through a generous contribution from Gurudwara, Ottawa, where a stall was set up to collect additional donations. The project received additional donations of 425 CAD from generous individuals via the Donor Drive platform, contributing significantly to the total funds raised for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Leveraging the excitement and competitive spirit of a pool event, the group successfully raised a total of CAD 1,442 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This achievement showed the dedication and commitment of Group T12 and the support of the local community in making a positive impact on the lives of children with critical medical conditions. The project’s success not only exceeded the initial fundraising target but also brought joy and hope to those three children whose wishes were granted with our donations. With a heart full of gratitude, Group T12 is honored to have contributed to this noble cause and looks forward to continuing to support initiatives that bring smiles to the faces of those in need.
