AFCY Event: Wanderlust-George Brown College Students Raise funds for AFCY
AFCY Benefits from Fundraiser
Students from George Brown College’s Fundraising program donated 20% of their proceeds from an inspiring cultural event downtown Toronto. The Fundraising Program team put on an event as part of their studies. The event was called Wanderlust, which means a desire to travel. The students focused
on 4 main countries, Egypt, India, Ireland, and Columbia.
They served food, had fun activities and live dance performances from each country and there was a
raffle and silent auction.
The event was a great success and everyone had a great time.
AFCY staff send out a huge THANKS to the George Brown College students and Wanderlust team.
