During the course of this class, we learn all about our interactions within society, as an individual, how we make up various groups, statuses, and contribute to or impact society. One of the ways we contribute to society is by giving back to society and helping those in need. Take a few moments and think about something you are really passionate about. This could be advocating for those with disabilities, helping the homeless, volunteering at city food banks or soup kitchens; mentoring a child, or even sharing a special skill set with others who are less fortunate or don’t have the means to engage in such an activity.
This paper will be researched based but will also include a creative component. Once you determine a topic you are passionate about, I want you to research more into the topic. Find a group that exists to raise awareness to the topic and research them as well. Lastly, I want you to develop a “hypothetical” fundraiser for event for this topic and group (i.e. if you were tif organize a fundraiser for this topic, the plan and steps you would take to do so. This means you do not actually have to organize this event, rather just a hypothetical event.)
Paper must be typed in APA format with cover page and reference page (Times Roman size 12 Font, 1″ margins all around).
I do not like to set page limits, but a good guideline for this paper is about 5 pages not counting cover or reference page (more pages is ok!)
Your paper should include:
Cover page (5 points)
Body of report (60 Points)
Intro-overview of the topic you are passionate about
Body of report
History or background of the topic you would like to raise awareness to
Statistics on prevalence of identified topic
Identify what group or population you are advocating for
Identify the need for fundraising, who would benefit, how the funds would be used, etc.
Identify an established charity group pertaining to the topic and outline their mission and purpose
Conclusion
