  I managed a Light the Night event at the Gold Coast, which is a lantern walk to support those affected by blood cancer. Before the walk there was entertainment and speakers and a lantern raising ceremony. I was my only team member at this event. I managed every aspect including, volunteers, registration, suppliers, set up and pack down, the running of the event and critically analyzing the event to prepare an evaluation for my team leader. Before the event I sourced speakers, an MC and food vans. I developed a run sheet for the day and briefs for volunteers and working to budget. The event was a huge success raising nearly $20,000. Recruited and stewarded bar tenders to take part in the campaign U.G.L.Y Bartender in North Brisbane through face to face, phone and email. I had 50 Bar tenders on board who raised over $50,000.

This campaign had two components, community fundraising and on street activation, where merchandise was sold, and donations collected in Brisbane City.

In regard to the community fundraising component, I stewarded fundraisers through their supporters journey. • I coordinated the HeartKids Noosa Triathlon Team which consisted of 70 team members and raised nearly $100,000 which was $25,000 over the target.
