Every year the Public Relations class at Loyalist College raises money during an event for the United Way of Quinte. This year our class held the Trick or Treat for United Way. Our goal was to raise one thousand dollars.
Planing started in early September with several ideas. We had to come up with a creative event in order to catch peoples attention. Our class all worked together and came up with this event. The theme was Halloween, so some of use dressed up and were placed in certain parts of the school to get donations. People that weren't dressed up accompanied the people in costumes. we stared early in the morning and ended in the afternoon.
The event was a big success with only minor problems. We raised over twelve hundred dollars, that two hundred over our original goal. This event was a great experience for me and it taught me several useful strategies when having an event. It also showed me my strengths when it comes to public relations.
