Community Event丨Charity for a Good Cause

Pink Day was a great opportunity for the FoW (Friends of Wellington) to arrange a community-wide event that not only aimed to educate and inform but also to raise funds for a very worthwhile and important cause. Working together the school administration, pupil leadership team and the Friends of Wellington (FoW) mums put together a programme covering a range of activities over an entire week.
Despite the limitations because of restrictions to the campus from the wider community, the event managed to raise over 14,000 RMB.
Breast cancer affects countless women and their families but with the help of governments and charitable organisations worldwide, progress is being made in the quest to identify and treat breast cancer in a more timely and effective manner.
The Senior School Student Council and the events committee gave presentations in assemblies for the Junior and Senior Schools, sold ribbons and badges, and promoted the Pink Day fair. The entire community came together on Pink Day, dressed in Pink, and gave donations, and our FoW mums came together to run stalls selling homemade cakes and treats, toys, and books.
