Opening Ceremony of Miracle Man Week
In September 2023, I executed the "Miracle Man" fundraising campaign for the Children's Hospital of Richmond at Virginia Commonwealth University.
The Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU is a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.
The Ask:

To raise funds to support the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at Virginia Commonwealth University and provide assistance to children in need.
To achieve this, I organized a week-long series of activities and competitions aimed at engaging the community and rallying support for this cause.
The Process of Curating Miracle Man Week
Step 1. Event Curation
The first step involved brainstorming and curating initiatives for the week. This included planning events, partnering with local businesses and restaurants, and designing merchandise.
Step 2. Planning Logistics
I planned the logistics, including securing venues, organizing supplies and equipment, coordinating with local restaurants for their partnerships, and arranging the production and distribution of merchandise.
Step 3. Campaign Setup
I set up the campaign's online donation platform to organize contributions from individuals who couldn't attend the events in person. This involved creating a donation link.
Step 4. Marketing and Promotion
I utilized social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to advertise the events, posting event flyers in the community, regularly reminding followers about upcoming events, and promoting the sale of merchandise.
