Lancaster students impressed a local business and charity as part of the Insight into Event Planning course run by Lancaster University Careers in Lent term 2016.
The students, who faced considerable time pressure to achieve success, took an innovative approach to the project, partnering with Nami Sushi to increase their chances of raising as much money as possible for CancerCare.
As part of the project students are invited to create an event/ project with a starting budget of £40. This group was able to raise a staggering £293.28 with an initial expenditure of only £4.75.
Rather than build a project from scratch, the team consisting of Kar Munn Tang, Crystal Gee, Victor Amaechi, Angeline Angeline, Julie Lemaitre, and Monjolaoluwa Okupe, decided to consider different ways to fundraise for the charity. Negotiating with the owners of Nami Sushi, the students agreed that part of the overall cost of each bill would be donated to charity.

With a poster campaign and Facebook publicity, the team made a fantastic impression, leading to Nami Sushi agreeing to support similar initiatives in the future and work with CancerCare.
The students have been a credit to Lancaster University and have made an impressive contribution to local business and charity organisations.
Huge congratulations to the team.
