Guess who's back, back again. It's me, Jackie here to write about our second week of progress. At the moment, we are trying to work out dates, contacts, and fundraisers. For our contacts, I think we will most likely reach out to a local therapist( of all types), hospitals who offer mental health services, and some larger organizations near us We haven't put much into motion yet, but we are working on putting on fundraisers(like penny wars, selling t-shirts and maybe a 50/50 at a sporting event. Our goal would be starting fundraisers next month. We also are able to work on social media pages(Instagram), which I will link when we think it's a reasonable time. Our team is also continuing trying to find more ideas for fundraising for our event in the spring. We are still working hard on finding dates and trying to put "Project Auxilium" on the map.

Introduction-Week OneHello! I'm Jackie and I attend Civic Memorial High School. I am working on this amazing project, "Project Auxilium" with two of my friends as well. We decided to do this project together because we all have a passion for raising awareness for mental health because we all have family members who suffer or have suffered from some form of mental illness. We also noticed that many of our friends who have problems have no clue what they are, and believe that its normal. Our goal is to raise awareness for mental health, but we are not exactly sure what we event we plan to put on, potentially a mental health fair, a five k/ fun run or picnic. In order to put on this event, we plan to do many fundraisers through our school and community, like penny wars, selling t-shirts and whatever else that seems to benefit us. My fear is that we may not be successful in advertising and have little turn out to our event, but I believe that we will be able to do well. To combat this fear, we are going start and manage a few social media pages(most likely an Instagram page and Twitter) to spread awareness as well. Our dream would be to be able to make our event annual and not just a one time project. I'm very excited to be able to work with an amazing team to make a big difference in our small town. |
